Women after pregnancy-induced hypertension risk of hypertens

According to a recent study suggests that pregnancy-induced hypertension in patients with hypertension and occurs after an increase in the risk of stroke. British researchers found that a history of hypertension in pregnancy women susceptible to hypertension and stroke. and a history of preeclampsia women more dangerous. The study results, published in the April 19 published in the "British Medical Journal." University of Aberdeen, Scotland W. Cairns S. Smith, stated, doctors should be aware of the history of pregnancy-induced hypertension women in the years after the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases increase the risk. Hypertension is a treatable disease, for pregnant women with hypertension should be considered as high-risk groups. Hypertension do early detection and treatment, thereby reducing stroke and heart disease incidence. Primipara pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia incidence of nearly 30%. Preeclampsia cases, no symptoms, blood pressure rose to dangerous high-value, pre-eclampsia can progress to eclampsia, endangering the lives of mother and child. Pre-eclampsia is the top cause of maternal mortality, the incidence of early maternal rate of 5%. a history of preeclampsia women pregnant again when the disease rate is as high as 50%. In this study, Dr. Smith and his colleagues to between 1951 -1970, 3593 Aberdeen area UNIFEM Female initial delivery of health questionnaires, hospital records and medical examination results were analyzed retrospectively. At this time these women had an average age of over 60 years old. The researchers found that pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia in women after years of suffering from an increase in the risk of hypertension, Even 50 years after its due to hypertension - related diseases and hospitalization rate is still very high. A history of preeclampsia women died of stroke due to the risk of pregnancy in women with normal blood pressure four times, But after pregnancy-induced hypertension and the risk of hypertension in the current mechanism is unclear.
