Does a history of hypertension in pregnancy increase the risk of death from ischemic heart disease in women?

Population

7,543 women whose case records were reviewed at the main maternity hospital in Iceland (1931-1947), identifying 374 women with hypertension in pregnancy.

Intervention

History of hypertension in pregnancy (including eclampsia, preeclampsia, and hypertension alone)

Comparator

General reference population (data from public health and census reports)

Outcome

Death rates from ischemic heart disease (IHD)hard clinical
