Women who experience high blood pressure during pregnancy may have a higher risk of heart disease, according to new research.
The findings, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, showed that women who had high blood pressure during their first pregnancy had a 45% higher risk of overall cardiovascular disease and 46% higher risk of developing coronary heart disease, compared to women who did not have high blood pressure in pregnancy.
They add that recurrent miscarriages, preterm birth, foetal growth restriction and pre-eclampsia have also all been previously linked with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease.
