The Cardiovascular Complications of Pregnancy

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2007
During the course of a normal pregnancy, the cardiovascular system of the mother is required to adapt to significant alterations in hemodynamics, including an almost 50% increase in cardiac output. This change in cardiac output is mediated by a significant increase in heart rate, a change in blood volume, as well as a neurohormonally mediated increase ...

Preventing Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Pregnancy Complicated by Obesity

Current Obstetrics and Gynecology Reports, 2023
Obesity is a chronic disease that is becoming increasingly prevalent, and more individuals of reproductive age have obesity prior to becoming pregnant. Obesity in pregnancy is associated with short- and long-term adverse consequences for both the birthing person and their offspring which have been associated with increased long-term cardiovascular ...

Maternal Cardiovascular Function Following a Pregnancy Complicated by Preeclampsia

American Journal of Perinatology, 2020
Preeclampsia is a hypertensive pregnancy complication with an unknown etiology and high maternal burden worldwide. Burgeoning research has linked preeclampsia to adverse maternal health outcomes remote from pregnancy; however, the intermediary mechanisms responsible for this association have not been sufficiently established.

Cardiovascular disease risk unmasked by pregnancy complications

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2018
Pregnancy related complications indicate a propensity for atherosclerotic disease. Epidemiologic data demonstrate early onset cardiovascular disease in women with a history of pregnancy loss, preterm pregnancy or pregnancy complicated by intrauterine growth restriction.

MATERNAL CARDIOVASCULAR HAEMODYNAMICS IN NORMAL AND COMPLICATED PREGNANCIES

Fetal and Maternal Medicine Review, 2003
Why should obstetricians study maternal cardiac function in normal and complicated pregnancies? Despite our understanding of the importance of disease processes, such as autoimmunity, impaired renal function and long-standing diabetes, on the placenta and thus pregnancy outcome, new data is emerging to suggest that early central cardiovascular ...

Women’s awareness of cardiovascular disease risk after complications of pregnancy

Women and Birth, 2023
Certain maternal complications of pregnancy, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus, birth of a growth restricted infant, idiopathic preterm labour, and placental abruption, are associated with a significantly increased risk of future maternal cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular response and complications of glucocorticoid therapy in hypertensive pregnancies

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1983
Forty-seven of 52 women with pregnancy-induced hypertension completed a protocol consisting of 4 gm of hydrocortisone given over 24 hours (1 gm every 8 hours). All patients' fetuses were less than 36 weeks' gestation and had an immature lecithin sphingomyelin ratio (less than 2).

Pregnancy Complications, Cardiovascular Risk Factors, and Future Heart Disease

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2020
Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in adult women. Beyond the traditional risk factors of obesity, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia, women with the pregnancy complications of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, prematurity, and low birth weight for gestational age (fetal growth restriction) are at higher risk for later development of ...

Trends in cardiovascular complications of pregnancy: A nationwide inpatient sample analysis

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2023
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of pregnancy-related mortality in the United States. Physiologic stress of pregnancy can induce several hemodynamic changes that contribute to an increased risk of cardiac complications in the peripartum period.
