Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare cardiovascular profiles of women who had spontaneous preterm deliveries (sPTD) with those who delivered at term.
- A total of 165 women with sPTD and 30 women who delivered at term were analyzed for various cardiovascular health indicators shortly after delivery.
- Results showed lower total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels, but higher glucose levels in the sPTD group, suggesting a possible link to insulin resistance rather than unfavorable cardiovascular profiles.
Objective: Pregnancy in women with congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with deterioration in cardiac function. However, longitudinal data are scarce. This study describes serial changes in cardiac dimensions and function during pregnancy in women with CHD and compares these with healthy pregnant women (controls).

We studied the incidence of cardiovascular events 1-year postpartum and compared cardiac function prepregnancy and 1-year postpartum in women with CHD.
Methods: From our national, prospective multicenter cohort study, 172 women were studied.
Aims: In women with congenital heart disease (CHD), cardiovascular complications during pregnancy are common, but the risk assessment of these patients remains difficult. This study sought to determine the independent role of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in addition to other parameters in predicting adverse cardiovascular events during pregnancy in women with CHD.
Methods And Results: We conducted a national, prospective multicentre cohort study.
Background: Pregnant women with congenital heart disease (CHD) are susceptible to cardiovascular, obstetric, and offspring complications. In women with CHD, cardiac dysfunction may compromise uteroplacental flow and contribute to the increased incidence of obstetric and offspring events.
Methods And Results: We performed a prospective multicenter cohort study of pregnant women with CHD and healthy pregnant women.
