Preeclampsia and future cardiovascular risk: formal risk factor or failed stress test?

Therapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease

Abstract

It is estimated that 10% of pregnancies are affected by hypertension worldwide. Approximately one-half of all hypertensive pregnancy disorders are due to preeclampsia, a pregnancy-specific disorder, its distinctive feature being either sudden onset, or worsening of pre-existing proteinuria. It has become increasingly recognized that women with a history of preeclampsia are at increased risk for future cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the mechanisms of this increase in risk are unclear. One possible explanation is that these two conditions share several common metabolic abnormalities as risk factors, including obesity, insulin resistance, and lipid abnormalities that may lead to preeclampsia and CVD at different times of a woman's life. Recent studies have revealed that, similar to CVD, several mediators of endothelial cell dysfunction are up-regulated in preeclampsia. Free radical derived oxidative stress, various inflammatory markers, including neutrophil response, C-reactive protein, and leukocyte adhesion, may contribute to endothelial dysfunction in both preeclampsia and coronary atherosclerosis. Alternatively, preeclampsia itself may induce metabolic and vascular changes that may increase the overall future risk for CVD i...Continue Reading
