Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy is a significant challenge for a woman's heart and blood system, and having pre-existing heart issues or metabolic problems can lead to bad outcomes during pregnancy and increase the risk of heart diseases later on.
- The health environment provided by the mother can impact the cardiovascular well-being of the child, as factors during pregnancy can affect the child's growth and future heart health.
- This review discusses the latest insights on how both mothers and their unborn children influence cardiovascular health, emphasizing prevention strategies throughout different stages of life.
