Is a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with image-identified coronary artery disease in women undergoing CCTA screening?
A history of adverse pregnancy outcomes is significantly associated with subclinical coronary artery disease on CCTA, highlighting a potential female-specific risk-enhancing factor even in low-risk women.
Among Swedish women undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography screening, there was a statistically significant association between history of adverse pregnancy outcomes and image-identified coronary artery disease, including among women estimated to be at low cardiovascular disease risk. Further research is needed to understand the clinical importance of these associations.
Lawesson et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
