Hypertension during pregnancy may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in the offspring (schematic diagram)
On September 29, the results were published in the "American Public Library of Science-Medicine"
Hypertension during pregnancy and the cardiovascular health of offspring have always been major issues of concern to the medical community in the world
To this end, the research team of Yu Yongfu and Qin Guoyou conducted a cohort study based on a large population to explore the relationship between maternal hypertension during pregnancy and early-onset cardiovascular disease in the offspring from birth to early adulthood (under 40 years of age).
The results of the study showed that compared with the offspring of mothers who did not suffer from hypertension in pregnancy, except for mothers with hypertension in pregnancy, their offspring had an increased risk of cardiovascular disease by 23%.
At the same time, the researchers also found that the offspring of mothers with a history of hypertension during pregnancy with diabetes or cardiovascular disease will increase the risk of early-onset cardiovascular disease by 56% and 67%, respectively
Hypertension in pregnancy will have an adverse effect on the development of the placenta in the early pregnancy, leading to the development of the fetus in an ischemic and hypoxic environment
Yu Yongfu said that the management of hypertension during pregnancy should be strengthened, the overall maternal and child condition should be correctly evaluated, actively lowering blood pressure, preventing convulsions and recurrence, indicated diuresis, and correcting hypoproteinemia
