Key result
A history of eclampsia or preeclampsia significantly increased the long-term risk of congestive heart failure (HR 9.07 and 7.39, respectively) and cerebrovascular disease compared to controls.
Why the study?
Does a history of preeclampsia or eclampsia increase the risk of future cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in pregnant women?

Preeclampsia/eclampsia history was associated with higher long-term cardiometabolic and cerebrovascular risks; leaves open optimal surveillance strategies for this population.
Kuo et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Preeclampsia and eclampsia (n=6,475). History of preeclampsia and/or eclampsia vs. Pregnant women without preeclampsia/eclampsia was evaluated on Congestive heart failure (HR 9.07, p=0.0060). A history of eclampsia or preeclampsia significantly increased the long-term risk of congestive heart failure (HR 9.07 and 7.39, respectively) and cerebrovascular disease compared to controls.
