Pregnancy History is Critical in Our Female Patients

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death amongst women. Pregnancy reflects a time of significant cardiovascular stress during a woman’s life, with associated significant hemodynamic changes that can exacerbate underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD) or un-mask previously unknown CVD conditions. Women are now advancing in age prior to conception and entering childbearing years with a higher incidence of CVD conditions and risk factors. In turn, pregnancy complications and other reproductive conditions can pre-dispose to future cardiovascular risk. Thus, it is important to recognize pregnancy and reproductive history, as this can also serve as an important window into future cardiovascular disease risk.
