[The obstetric history of preeclampsia as a further maternal cardiovascular risk factor]

Abstract

The paper considers the late sequels of preeclampsia that is one of the main causes of poor perinatal outcomes. The idea that this gestational complication shows no noticeable impact on the female health status in the late postpartum periods has long been prevalent. At the same time, recent studies suggest that this cohort of women will have a high cardiovascular risk in future life, which requires the formulation of their management strategy. Epidemiological data are given on late female morbidity and mortality due to coronary heart disease, stroke, and renal failure.
