Maternal cardiovascular risk after hypertensive disorder of pregnancy
Heart May 16, 2020
Arnott C, Nelson M, Ramirez MA, et al. - This study was sought to evaluate absolute and relative risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) after Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Between 2002 and 2016, a retrospective cohort of women who had singleton pregnancies in New South Wales, Australia, and distinguished applying linked population health administrative databases. Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to calculate risks among mothers following their first birth, and by using multivariable time-dependent Cox regression, the relationship between HDP and CVD were computed. A total of 528,106 women were included in the study. The results of this study showed that HDP, especially early onset, conferred a clear increase in the risk of CVD, with amplification by smoking in this nationally representative Australian cohort. During and after pregnancy, targeted preventive health could prevent a substantial burden of CVD among childbearing women.
