Long Term Prognosis GDM
• Increased Type 1 and Type 2 DM
• ≥ 3 months post partum
– Abnormal post partum OGTT
– ↑ metabolic syndrome
– Atherogenic lipid profile
– Early vascular dysfunction

Superimposed Preeclampsia

Gestational HTN and CV Risk
Gestational HTN
• HTN HR 2.7
– Younger age
• All CVD HR 1.59
• IHD HR 1.67
• MI HR 1.85
• MI death HR 4.49
• CHF HR 2.47
• CNS disease HR 1.67
• Increased DM, CKD

What’s the Link? Marker or Cause?
Shared Risk Factors
• Hypertension
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Renal disease
• Family hx htn or dm
• African American
Potential Genetic Links
Shared Vascular Factors
• Pathologic lesions
• Endothelial dysfunction
• Vasomotor dysfunction
Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Are Associated with increased CVD risk
• Predictive value rivals smoking and family history
• Predicts earlier than conventional screening tools
• 80% of women have a child
• ~ 30% women have adverse pregnancy outcome
• ~ 25% women have early CVD risk
Rich-Edwards, J et al 2014 36 Epidem Rev: 57
Screening Recommendations Risk Factor Initial Screen post partum Subsequent Screen
Hypertension 6 mo-1yr SBP 120-139 or DBP 80-90 screen annually BP < 120/80 every 2 year
Hyperlipidemia 12 weeks and post lactation Based on levels and ASCVD risk
Diabetes Within 6 weeks if GDM If IFG annually If hypertensive disorder annually Otherwise every 3 yrs
Obesity/BMI Annually Annually
Tobacco use Annually Annually

• Older small studies suggest exercise benefit
• Cochrane Data Base 2006 no change

Do We Counsel Appropriately?
• Framingham underestimates risk in women
• New ASCVD better but does not incorporate adverse pregnancy outcomes
• OB-Gyns: < 55% incorporate CVD prevention guidelines
• <10% internists, 38% counselled women with pre-eclampsia about increased risk

Maternal Health Clinic
• Referred through standard post partum order sheets
• Calculated lifetime and 30 year risk
• Metabolic syndrome calculation
• Encourage lifestyle changes

How Do We Get There
• Need More Data
• Education/communication
– Training across disciplines
– Include h/o adverse pregnancy outcomes in screening women for CVD risk
– Counsel women with adverse outcomes about increased risk
– Healthy lifestyle
Strategies for Improved Diet
• Educational campaigns
• Nutritional labeling
• Lower pricing healthy foods
• Campaigns in schools and workplaces
• Local environmental changes increase availabilty of healthy foods
• Restrictions on unhealthy foods
