Ten-Year, Thirty-Year, and Lifetime Cardiovascular Disease Risk Estimates Following a Pregnancy Complicated by Preeclampsia

Objective To calculate the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk estimates for women following a pregnancy with or without preeclampsia. Methods We calculated 10-year, 30-year, and lifetime CVD risk estimates at one year postpartum for women recruited into the Pre-Eclampsia New Emerging Team's prospective cohort. Results Complete CVD risk screening data were obtained from 118 control women and 99 preeclamptic women. A total of 18.2% of preeclamptic women and 1.7% of control women had a high 10-year risk (OR 13.08; 95% CI 3.38 to 85.5), 31.3% of preeclamptic women and 5.1% of control women had a high 30-year risk (OR 8.43; 95% CI 3.48 to 23.23), and 41.4% of preeclamptic women and 17.8% of control women had a high lifetime risk for…
