Women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have significant differences in left ventricular structure and function a decade after delivery, especially when accompanied by current hypertension. Continued surveillance and targeted therapies may be necessary for cardiovascular disease prevention in these individuals.
BACKGROUND Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are associated with short-term cardiac structure and function abnormalities, but later life changes are not well studied. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine if HDP history is associated with echocardiographic differences 8 to 10 years after delivery, and if subgroups with placental maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) lesions or current hypertension may be particularly affected. METHODS Women with pregnancies delivered from 2008 to 2009 were selected from a clinical cohort with abstracted pregnancy and placental pathology data to undergo transthoracic echocardiography (2017 to 2020). Medical history, blood pressure, and weight were measured at the study visit. RESULTS The authors enrolled 132 women (10 +/- 1 years post-delivery, age 38 +/- 6 years): 102 with normotensive pregnancies and 30 with HDP: pre-eclampsia (n = 21) or gestational hypertension (n = 9). Compared with women with normotensive pregnancies, those with HDP history were more likely to have current hypertension (63% vs. 26%; p < 0.001). After adjusting for age, race, MVM lesions, body mass index, current hypertension, and hemoglobin A1c, women with HDP history had higher interventricular septal thickness (beta = 0.08; p = 0.04) and relative wall thickness (beta = 0.04; p = 0.04). In subgroup analyses, those with both HDP history and current hypertension had a higher proportion of left ventricular remodeling (79.0%) compared with all other groups (only HDP [36.4%; p = 0.01], only current hypertension [46.2%; p = 0.02], and neither HDP nor hypertension [38.2%; p < 0.001]), and lower mitral inflow E/A and annular e'. Accounting for placental MVM lesions did not impact results. CONCLUSIONS Women with both HDP history and current hypertension have pronounced differences in left ventricular structure and function a decade after pregnancy, warranting continued surveillance and targeted therapies for cardiovascular disease prevention.
