| Abstract (English): | Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a group of conditions characterized by abnormally elevated blood pressure during pregnancy. HDP are one of the leading causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality worldwide. There is growing evidence that prepregnancy cardiovascular risk factors significantly increase the risk of HDP. Along these lines, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, heart failure and hypercholesterolemia appear to be related to HDP. All of these can increase, to a lesser or greater degree, the risk of HDP. Although some of these variables are intertwined, they can also act as independent predictors. A preconceptional predictive tool could improve therapeutic decisions and pregnancy control in high-risk patients. This review aims to analyze the degree of correlation between HDP’s incidence and prepregnancy cardiovascular risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Los trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo (HDP, por sus siglas en inglés) son un grupo de afecciones caracterizadas por una presión arterial anormalmente elevada durante el embarazo. Los HDP son una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad materna y fetal en todo el mundo. Cada vez hay más pruebas de que los factores de riesgo cardiovascular previos al embarazo aumentan significativamente el riesgo de HDP. En este sentido, la hipertensión, la diabetes mellitus, la obesidad, la insuficiencia cardiaca y la hipercolesterolemia parecen estar relacionadas con la HDP. Todos ellos pueden aumentar, en mayor o menor grado, el riesgo de HDP. Aunque algunas de estas variables están entrelazadas, también pueden actuar como predictores independientes. Una herramienta predictiva preconcepcional podría mejorar las decisiones terapéuticas y el control del embarazo en pacientes de alto riesgo. Esta revisión tiene como objetivo analizar el grado de correlación entre la incidencia de HDP y los factores de riesgo cardiovascular previos al embarazo [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
