Key result
Pregnancy in women with premature coronary artery disease was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events and obstetric complications.
Why the study?
Many women with premature CAD consider pregnancy, but there is little information about the risks involved.
Does pregnancy increase the risk of cardiovascular events and obstetric complications in women with premature CAD?

Does pregnancy increase the risk of cardiovascular events and obstetric complications in women with premature CAD?
Pregnancy in women with premature CAD is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular events and obstetric complications, highlighting the need for careful risk assessment and management.
Pregnancy in premature CAD warrants individualized preconception counseling; observational data leave optimal risk stratification open.
Many women with premature coronary artery disease (CAD) consider pregnancy, but there is little information about the risks involved. This study examines the impact of pregnancy on cardiovascular and pregnancy outcomes in women diagnosed with CAD before the age of 40. Women with premature CAD who became pregnant had a higher risk of cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction and unplanned coronary revascularization. Pregnancy in women with CAD was associated with more obstetric complications, such as high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, premature birth, and a higher risk of fetal death.
