Importance: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) may have unique risk factors in women. Most women have a history of pregnancy; common adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) appear to be associated with ASCVD, but prior studies have limitations.

Objective: To assess whether APOs are associated with increased ASCVD risk independently of traditional risk factors.
