Heart Disease: Premature Cardiovascular Disease
Last researchers pointing that women who suffer during pregnancy
certain complications could be more likely to develop a special
kind of premature cardiovascular disease, according to these
studies published, mothers with maternal placental syndrome have
double risk of developing cardiovascular disease in a early
state, and if we talk about maternal placental syndromes we
could mention it syndromes such as; pre-aclampsia and high blood
pressure for instance.
In cases where pitifully the baby died or his growth was
restricted, the odds will increase further, so the risk of
developing a premature cardiovascular disease after a maternal
placental syndrome is higher, this will very probably in the
case where the fetus is adversely affected.
A piece of advise for mothers in order to prevent, is measure
their blood pressure to see if it is at a normal level, this
could be 4 or 6 months after the birth, other cardiovascular
disease risk factors could be obesity, raised cholesterol
levels, smoking and insulin resistance. To say, the maternal
placental syndrome should be considered as an additional risk
factor for cardiovascular disease.
The link between placenta problems in pregnancy and heart
disease has been assessed by scientists in a recently study with
more than 1.000.000.- healthy women, about 75.000.- were
diagnosed with maternal placental syndrome, 7.5 %.
The big problem is that there is a pandemic of obesity in our
midst, whoever could think that we must ensure that women are a
healthy weight before they enter their reproductive years.
In conclusion, this article tell us about the importance to
reduce our premature cardiovascular disease risks, and that may
be done with preventive controls' blood pressure for instance or
with a healthy weight before, during and after pregnancy and
controlling the other risk factors for cardiovascular disease,
but the most important in my personal opinion is to learn all
aspects involving in pregnancy and maybe this article could be a
little bit useful by someone in this beautiful process.
