Popis: | Background Hypertensive diseases in pregnancy have been associated with altered cardiac structure and function, yet these associations have not been systematically investigated in larger populations including African Americans. We evaluated the relationships between hypertensive diseases in pregnancy with cardiac structure and function later in life in the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy (GENOA) study. Methods We investigated 1013 African American women sibships with echocardiographic measurements from the GENOA study (Phase II, 2000-05; Jackson, MS). Women were classified as self-reported nulliparous (n = 61), a history of normotensive pregnancies (n = 780), a history of a hypertensive pregnancies (n = 152), or a history of preeclampsia (n = 20). We compared adjusted associations among these 4 groups with echocardiographic measurements of cardiac structure and function using generalized estimating equations, accounting for familial clustering. Results Among 1013 women with echocardiographic data (mean age 62 ± 9.5 years), women with a history of hypertensive pregnancy had lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (P = 0.043) compared to nulliparous women and higher left atrial systolic dimension (LASD) compared to women with a history of normotensive pregnancies (P = 0.010), After adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors. There were no statistically significant differences in other echocardiographic parameters among these groups. Conclusions A history of hypertension in pregnancy is associated with lower LVEF later in life, compared to nulliparous women and higher LASD compared to women with a history of normotensive pregnancies. However, given the multiple comparisons considered, this finding should be interpreted cautiously and requires further study. |
