How does preeclampsia up the risk for heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress test for body: Consider any pregnancy a stress-test for the body and the female heart and vessels. The preeclamptic women fail that test and are at increased risk for chronic hypertension and heart disease down the road - not as a consequence of preeclmapsia, but rather because of their genes, lifestyle, weight, activity and diet.
