Pre-eclampsia And Its Lasting Impact On Women's Health: Not Just A Villain Of Pregnancy? (In Person Face-To-Face)

New

Pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure) can have a devastating impact on women and their unborn child or children during pregnancy. However, it is becoming increasingly recognised that the effects of pre-eclampsia can remain with a woman throughout her life-course, placing her at an increased risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, well into her future. Is it pre-eclampsia which causes these effects? Or is pre-eclampsia simply a marker of an over-stressed system during pregnancy? This talk will explore the puzzling relationship between pregnancy, pre-eclampsia and women’s long-term cardiovascular health and explain how the University of Cambridge-led POPPY study hopes to provide answers to some of these questions.
