Why the study?
Do adverse pregnancy outcomes increase the long-term risk of ischemic heart disease in mothers?
Do adverse pregnancy outcomes increase the long-term risk of ischemic heart disease in mothers?
Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes have an increased long-term risk of ischemic heart disease and should be considered for early preventive evaluation.
Adverse pregnancy outcomes were associated with higher long-term IHD risk; leaves open whether targeted screening or prevention alters maternal outcomes.
In this large national cohort, women who experienced any of five major adverse pregnancy outcomes showed an increased risk for ischemic heart disease up to 46 years after delivery. Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes should be considered for early preventive evaluation and long term risk reduction to help prevent the development of ischemic heart disease.
