Preeclampsia brings the risk of premature cardiovascular disease in women closer to that of men
Canadian Journal of Cardiology Jul 17, 2019
Langlois AWR, et al. - This population-based cohort study was undertaken to determine if prior preeclampsia brings a woman’s risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) closer to that of a male counterpart. The study sample consisted of 55,186 women with prior preeclampsia, 110,372 randomly selected age- and region-matched men, as well as 110,372 similarly selected women who gave birth without prior preeclampsia. According to findings, women with a history of preeclampsia had an increased risk of premature CVD compared to those without preeclampsia, reaching a rate of about half that of men of the same age. The absolute risk was almost the same as for men when preeclampsia was followed by preterm birth.
