According to recent research from Hamilton, Canada, " Preeclampsia affects 3% to 5% of gestations and eclampsia 0.05% to 0.93%, but their subsequent cardiovascular sequelae are unclear. The aim of this study was to determine if women with a history of preeclampsia/ eclampsia are at increased risk of long-term cardiovascular sequelae."

" From Medline and Embase searches, we included case-control and cohort studies that examined cardiac, cerebrovascular or peripheral arterial disease, or cardiovascular mortality >6 weeks postpartum, in women with and without a history of preeclampsia/eclampsia and that controlled for or matched for confounders. Two independent reviewers determined study eligibility and extracted data. Five case-control and 10 cohort studies met eligibility criteria, with a total of 116,175 women with and 2,259,576 women without preeclampsia/eclampsia. Most studies focused on women

The researchers concluded: "Further research is needed to determine the mechanisms underlying these associations and to identify effective prevention strategies. (Am Heart J 2008; 156:918-30.)'."

Mcdonald and colleagues published their study in American Heart Journal (Cardiovascular sequelae of preeclampsia/eclampsia: A systematic review and meta-analyses. American Heart Journal, 2008;156(5):918-930).
