Key result
Women with prior adverse pregnancy outcomes show a ~2.7-fold rise in heart failure incidence since 2013.
Why the study?
Adverse pregnancy outcomes confer long-term cardiovascular risk, but population-level temporal trends in heart failure burden among exposed U.S. women remain uncharacterized.
Observational (n=979,178)
Yes
Heart failure incidence and prevalence increased substantially across all age groups and racial categories among US women with prior adverse pregnancy outcomes from 2013 to 2023.
HF trends in APO-exposed women are hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed before guiding practice.

Jaamour et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=979,178). Adverse pregnancy outcomes was evaluated on Heart failure incidence proportion and period prevalence. Among U.S. women with prior adverse pregnancy outcomes, heart failure incidence rose 2.70-fold (0.782 to 2.110 per 1,000) and prevalence increased 3.20-fold (0.39% to 1.26%) from 2013 to 2023.
