| description | Pregnancy complications, such as hypertensive disorders or preterm delivery, identify families predisposed to cardiovascular problems at other times in life. Whether the pregnancy complication induces cardiac disease or whether the pregnancy stress unmasks an underlying predisposition remains unclear. However, improved survival following severe pregnancy complications for both the mother and, in particular, the offspring - who is often born preterm - has resulted in a growing cohort of individuals who carry this increased cardiovascular risk. Research to understand the underlying pathological mechanisms that link these conditions might ultimately lead to novel therapeutic or prevention strategies for both cardiovascular and pregnancy disease. |
