The risk of adverse cardiovascular events in women with heart disease in the 20 years postpartum is 19.6 times that of ordinary people

 At present, the number of pregnant women suffering from heart disease continues to increase, and the risk of pregnancy complications during pregnancy is higher than that of ordinary people. As for the long-term cardiovascular prognosis of such pregnant women after pregnancy, it is currently unclear.

　　 Canadian scholars investigated and analyzed the long-term cardiovascular prognosis of 1,014 women with heart disease and 2028 women without heart disease. The results have been published in the American Heart Association journal "JAHA" recently.

The main outcome of the study was a compound event of mortality, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, myocardial infarction or arrhythmia. Secondary outcomes included cardiac surgery and new onset of hypertension or diabetes.
