Hypertension or high blood pressure experienced by pregnant
women should be aware of. Because researchers from Finland explained that
hypertension is likely to be a risk factor of heart disease a few years.
Women who experience increased blood pressure, at least once
during pregnancy, specifically heart failure risk by 1.4 times greater. They
also doubled the risk of dying from a heart attack compared to pregnant women
with normal blood pressure.
As reported by My Health News Daily (11/02), previous research
also mentions that the condition of preeclampsia associated with risk of heart
disease and kidney disease. Preeclampsia is a serious condition characterized
by high blood pressure and increased levels of protein in the urine.
Changes during pregnancy, including high blood pressure,
cause the body to be stressful and sometimes dangerous heart conditions.
Recent research even this should be an evaluation for women
to monitor their blood pressure condition during pregnancy.
"Unfortunately, the study was only conducted in
Finland. So the results can not necessarily represent the condition of women in
other countries," the researchers wrote in the journal Circulation.
The study involved 10,000 women was Finland who gave birth
in 1966 ago. Their blood pressure checked seven times during pregnancy and
health are monitored 40 years. Approximately one in three women had experienced
once hypertension during pregnancy.
