Associations among prepregnancy risk factors, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and postpregnancy risk of cardiovascular disease. Prepregnancy hypertension increases the risk of preeclampsia. Prepregnancy overweight status or obesity and diabetes mellitus increase the risk of development of gestational hypertension. The combination of small‐for‐gestational‐age or preterm delivery with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy further increases the risk of future cardiovascular outcomes. +Mildly increased risk (hazard ratio <2 in most studies). ++Moderately increased risk (hazard ratio >2 in most studies). +++Markedly increased risk (hazard ratio >3 in most studies). CAD indicates coronary artery disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; HF, heart failure; HTN, hypertension.
