Key result
Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia, are associated with an increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Why the study?
Do lifestyle interventions and medical management reduce later cardiovascular disease in women with a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes?
Do lifestyle interventions and medical management reduce later cardiovascular disease in women with a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes?
Adverse pregnancy outcomes serve as early indicators of future cardiovascular risk, providing a critical window for preventive lifestyle and medical interventions.
Such adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) as miscarriage, preterm birth, low-birth weight, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and placental abruption have been reported to be associated with an increased risk of later cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Counseling your patients who have experienced an APO about the protective effect of breastfeeding, eating a heart-healthy diet, exercise, and optimizing weight may help them to live a long and healthy life.
