Background And Aims: Adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO) have been related to increased cardiovascular (CV) risk and mortality in later life. Underlying pathomechanisms for the development of CV disease in these women are not yet fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between APO and individual CV risk profiles in later life.

Ubiquitin ligases recognize substrates of selective protein degradation and modify them with polyubiquitin chains, which mark them for proteasomal degradation. Substrate recognition by ubiquitin ligases often involves degradation signals or degrons, which are typically short linear motifs found in intrinsically disordered regions, e.

How genetic predisposition to AF and stroke interacts with early rhythm-control therapy is not known.
Methods And Results: Array genotyping and imputation for common genetic variants were performed.
