Why the study?

Does a family history of cardiovascular risk factors increase the risk of developing preeclampsia or transient hypertension in pregnant women?

Population

2,211 pregnant women delivering live births enrolled in a pregnancy cohort study

Comparison

Family history of cardiovascular risk vs No family members with cardiovascular risk

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

Until delivery

Authors

RNRoberta B. NessMemorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Family history of cardiovascular risk may flag preeclampsia susceptibility; supports preexisting tendency theory but leaves open prospective validation.
