- Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) face increased long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks, according to findings from a Swedish study.
- Their APO-free sisters also demonstrated heightened risks of major adverse cardiac events, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and cerebrovascular events.
- Genetic and/or environmental influence may explain the association between APOs and CVD.
- APO history could serve as a marker for future CVD risk in affected women and their siblings.
- The study utilized high-quality national health registers, with limitations including a lack of genetic data and exclusion of non-Nordic populations.
