High blood pressure in pregnancy increases risk of later heart disease.
2003 MAY 8 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Women who have hypertension during pregnancy have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease in later life, concludes a new study.
The study involved three groups of women, selected from the Aberdeen maternity databank, and who were living in Aberdeen during their first pregnancy in the years 1951-1970. One group had been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia or eclampsia during their pregnancy, the second had been diagnosed with high blood pressure, and the third group had no history of raised blood pressure.
The women were asked to complete a questionnaire and were invited to attend for a medical examination. Results were published in the British Medical Journal.
