Abstract

Gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (gestational hypertension and preeclampsia) are strong independent risk predictors for future cardiovascular disease (CVD) specific to women. Awareness of the relationship between pregnancy-related risk factors and CVD needs improvement among both women and clinicians. Education of patients and their health care providers is urgently needed to ensure preventive measures are implemented across a woman's lifespan to care for the health of women affected by these conditions. Few interventions have been developed or studied which are designed to lower CVD risk in women with pregnancy-related risk factors. Future work should focus on developing interventions that are tailored together with individual communities and integrated within health care systems, ensuring each health care provider's role is clearly outlined to effectively prevent and manage CVD in these high risk women.
