Key result
History of spontaneous preterm birth linked to increased future maternal CV morbidity.
Why the study?
To review the clinical and epidemiological evidence linking a history of spontaneous preterm birth with increased risk of maternal cardiovascular morbidity, explore etiologies, and revisit societal guidelines.
Does a history of spontaneous preterm birth increase the risk of future maternal cardiovascular morbidity?
Does a history of spontaneous preterm birth increase the risk of future maternal cardiovascular morbidity?
A history of spontaneous preterm birth should be considered a risk factor for future maternal cardiovascular morbidity, prompting lifestyle modifications and monitoring.
May inform postpartum CV counseling; extends observational links but leaves causal impact and interventions open.
The manuscript reviews the clinical and epidemiological evidence that links a history of spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) with an increased risk of maternal cardiovascular (CV) morbidity. Potential etiologies are reviewed, and relevant societal guidelines revisited. A history of PTB should be a warning sign of practitioners and taken into account when reviewing potential risk factor for CV morbidity. Patients who had PTB are encouraged to take steps (such as lifestyle modifications and relevant monitoring) in order to mitigate their risk of CV morbidity.
