			'''Tsulukidze M, Reardon DC, Craver C. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38525098/ Effects of prior reproductive losses on risk of cardiovascular diseases within six months of a first live birth.] Int J Cardiol Cardiovasc Risk Prev. 2024 Mar 13;21:200260. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcrp.2024.200260. PMID: 38525098; PMCID: PMC10957406.'''<blockquote>'''Objective:''' There is emerging evidence suggesting that pregnancy loss (induced or natural) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This prospective longitudinal study investigates the effect of prior pregnancy losses on CVD risk during the first six months following a first live birth.

			'''Methods:''' Medicaid claims of 1,002,556 low-income women were examined to identify history of pregnancy losses, CVD, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia prior to first live birth. The study population was categorized into five groups: A: women with no pregnancy loss or CVD history prior to first live birth; B: women with pregnancy loss and no CVD prior to first live birth. C: women with a first CVD diagnosis after a first pregnancy ending in a loss and before their first live birth. D: women with CVD prior to first live birth and no history of pregnancy loss. E: women with both CVD and pregnancy loss prior to their first live birth.

			'''Results:''' After controlling for age, race, state of residence, and history of diabetes and hyperlipidemia, the risk of CVD in the six-month period following a first live birth were 15%, 214%, 79% and 129% more common for Groups B, C, D and E, respectively, compared to Group A.

			'''Conclusions:''' Pregnancy loss is an independent risk factor for CVD risk following a first live birth, both for women with and without a prior history of CVD. The risk is highest when CVD is first diagnosed after a pregnancy loss and prior to a first live birth.</blockquote>


			'''Tsulukidze M, Reardon D, Craver C. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35680171/ Elevated cardiovascular disease risk in low-income women with a history of pregnancy loss.] Open Heart. 2022 Jun;9(1):e002035. doi: 10.1136/openhrt-2022-002035. PMID: 35680171; PMCID: PMC9185659.'''<blockquote>'''Objective:''' Pregnancy is associated with elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but little is known regarding the association between CVD and specific types of pregnancy losses. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of pregnancy loss on the risk of subsequent CVD of any type.

	'''Deaths associated with pregnancy outcome: a record linkage study of low income women. Reardon DC1, Ney PG, Scheuren F, Cougle J, Coleman PK, Strahan TW. South Med J. 2002 Aug;95(8):834-41.'''		'''Methods:''' This prospective longitudinal study examines medical records between 1999 and 2014 for Medicaid beneficiaries born after 1982 who lived in a state that funds all reproductive health services, including induced abortion. Unique pregnancy outcomes, history of diabetes, hyperlipidaemia or CVD (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9): 401-459) prior to their first pregnancy outcome for each woman. Cumulative incidence rates of a first CVD diagnosis following a first pregnancy were calculated for the observed period, exceeding 12 years.

			'''Results:''' A history of pregnancy loss was associated with 38% (OR=1.38; 95% CI=1.37 to 1.40) higher risk of a CVD diagnosis in the period observed. After controlling for history of diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, age, year of first pregnancy, race, state of residence, months of eligibility, number of pregnancies, births, number of losses before and after the first live birth, exposure to any pregnancy loss was associated with an 18% (adjusted OR=1.18; 95% CI=1.15 to 1.21) increased risk of CVD. Our analyses also reveal an important temporal relationship between the CVD and pregnancy loss. Immediate and short-term increased CVD risk is more characteristic for women whose first pregnancy ended in live birth while a delayed and more prolonged increased risk of CVD is associated with a first pregnancy loss.

			'''Conclusions:''' Our findings corroborate previous research showing that pregnancy loss is an independent risk factor for CVD, especially for diseases more chronic in nature. Our research contributes to understanding the specific needs for cardiovascular health monitoring for pregnant women and developing a consistent, evidence-based screening tools for both short-term and long-term follow-up.</blockquote>

Pregnancy Hypertens. 2026 Jun;44:101478. doi: 10.1016/j.preghy.2026.101478. Epub 2026 May 7. PMID: 42097111.'''<blockquote>'''Objective:''' Preeclampsia originates in the placenta, resulting from shallow trophoblast invasion and narrow spiral arteries, causing placental malperfusion and hypoxia. The damaged placenta releases molecules into maternal circulation, leading to systemic vascular injury, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, and multi-organ damage, effects that can persist after pregnancy. This study examined the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with preeclampsia.

			'''Methods:''' The Medical Birth Register, Hospital Discharge Register, Care Register for Health Care, and the Causes of Death Register were linked during the study period of 1987-2022. The primary exposure was history of preeclampsia. Outcomes included hypertension, ischemic heart disease, stroke, pulmonary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes, thromboembolism and mortality related to these conditions.

			'''Results:''' The study included 1 014 749 women with 2 050 970 deliveries, among which 47 961 involved preeclampsia. Follow-up was median 18.1 years for the preeclampsia group and 21.1 years for controls. Cardiovascular outcomes were statistically more frequent in women with preeclampsia: hypertension (15.4% vs. 7.0%), ischemic heart disease (2.9% vs. 1.7%), and stroke (2.3% vs. 1.3%). Women with preeclampsia had higher morbidity risk for all studied outcomes: hypertension (HR 2.90), ischemic heart disease (2.05), stroke (2.25), pulmonary heart disease (1.60), heart failure (2.52), type 2 diabetes (2.73) and thromboembolism (1.87). Women with a history of preeclampsia had a 2- to 3-fold risk of cardiovascular-related death.

			'''Conclusion:''' Preeclampsia significantly increases the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality. Continued risk assessment and management beyond postpartum are essential for women with a history of preeclampsia.</blockquote>'''Deaths associated with pregnancy outcome: a record linkage study of low income women.

The investigators found that women with a history of pregnancy loss, especially abortion, had significantly lower general health ratings than other women. The more pregnancy losses a woman had suffered, the more negative her general health score. Loss of a woman’s most recent pregnancy was more strongly associated with lower health than were losses followed by successful deliveries. While the researchers found that miscarriage was also associated with a lower health score, induced abortion was more strongly associated with a lower health assessment and more frequently identified by women as the cause of their reduced level of health. More than twenty percent of the women participating in the study expressed a moderate to strong need for professional help to resolve their loss. From these data, the psychiatrist who led the research team concluded that pathological grief after the loss of an unborn child, whether by miscarriage or abortion, has a detrimental effect on the psychological and physical health of women.

	:Epidemiologic studies have suggested that abortion may cause long term health consequences such as cardiovascular disease. Until recently, studies focusing on the association between history of abortion and metabolic diseases were limited. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the association between history of abortion and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in middle-aged and elderly Chinese women. A cross-sectional survey was performed in 6302 women (age [Symbol: see text] 40 years) in Shanghai. Standardized questionnaire was used to obtain the information about reproductive histories. Overall, we observed a positive association between history of induced abortion and the prevalence of MetS, independent of potential confounding factors. A multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed that compared to those without a history of induced abortion, women with a history of induced abortion remained at 1.25 times more likely to have MetS (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.06-1.47, P < 0.05), and the association was number-dependent. However, no significant association between history of spontaneous abortion and the prevalence of MetS was observed. Compared to those without a history of spontaneous abortion, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratio associated with a history of spontaneous abortion for MetS was 0.88 (95% CI = 0.65-1.19, P > 0.05).		:Epidemiologic studies have suggested that abortion may cause long term health consequences such as cardiovascular disease.

			This study examined treatment rates three months before and after abortion and found a thirty-six percent increased rate of hospital admissions following abortion. The elevated hospitalization rates were statistically significant.

			:Abstract
			:A survey of women patients in the practices of family physicians in Victoria, B.C. was undertaken to determine the factors associated with pregnancy losses and their effect on women's health. Questionnaires returned by 1428 women with 2961 pregnancies showed that a higher number of losses, particularly abortions, correlates both with poor health and the need to obtain professional help in dealing with the loss(es). Partner support appears to be one of the most important factors in maintaining a pregnancy.

			The elevated risk from death from circulatory diseased and cerebrovascular disease may be partially explained by a finding that abortion is associated with elevated rates of metabolic syndrome which is a cause of increased cardiovascular disease.
