Manifestations of Chronic Disease During Pregnancy

Abstract: The physiologic changes of pregnancy can reveal risk of chronic diseases. Exaggerated responses reflective of the metabolic syndrome are seen in preeclampsia and gestational diabetes and can herald future cardiovascular and metabolic disease. Pregnancy is therefore an important screening opportunity for cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk factors, with the possibility of early intervention.

“…However, results here presented regarding similarity of risk profiles and current knowledge on similar metabolic, vascular and immune abnormalities support the concept of a common soil of causality for these two diseases. Increased insulin resistance, a characteristic of gestational diabetes (27), has also been associated with the development of preeclampsia (28)(29)(30). Similarly, abnormal endothelial function with impaired flow mediated dilatation (31)(32)(33) and inflammatory cytokine release as C-reactive protein and E-selectin are reported in both conditions (34)(35)(36)(37)(38).…”

“…However, many important prenatal risk factors that impact on offspring development in utero are influenced by maternal characteristics (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Consider the example of smoking in pregnancy, which is associated with a number of adverse outcomes in offspring including reduced birth weight and increased antisocial behavior.…”

“…Con relación al comportamiento de la presión arterial, es importante aclarar que el embarazo es una condición fisiológica saludable, pero en determinadas situaciones puede existir un cierto riesgo de hipertensión para la mujer gestante 38 . Esta lleva consigo otra serie de complicaciones, como puede ser la preeclampsia, muy peligrosa ya que es la responsable del 22% de las muertes maternas 39 y del 18% de las de los partos prematuros [40][41][42][43] ; además, incrementa el riesgo de futuras enfermedades cardiovasculares 44,45 .…”
