Popis: Abstract Background Maternal obesity and advanced age have been associated with an increased risk of structural congenital heart defects in the offspring. Whether these factors may also cause abnormalities in infant cardiac dimension and function is unknown. This study investigates whether maternal body mass index (BMI) and maternal age are associated with changes in left ventricular (LV) dimensions and function in the newborn. Methods Infants enrolled in the Copenhagen Baby Heart Study (CBHS), who were born at term, and contributed with a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 60 days of birth were included. The exposure variables were prepregnancy maternal BMI (kg/m2)
