Preeclampsia and Cardiovascular Risk for Offspring

Abstract: There is growing evidence of long-term cardiovascular sequelae in children after in utero exposure to preeclampsia. Maternal hypertension and/or placental ischaemia during pregnancy increase the risk of hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the offspring later in life. The mechanisms associated with CVD seem to be a combination of genetic, molecular, and environmental factors which can be defined as fetal and postnatal programming. The aim of this paper is to discuss the relations… Show more

“…Offspring of hypoxic pregnancies display cardiac abnormalities in adulthood and appear to be sensitized to ischemia/reperfusion injury 7,9–17 . These findings support epidemiological evidence from human pregnancies, which show hypoxia during development can increase the risk of cardiac dysfunction in offspring 18–23 . Combined, evidence derived from human clinical studies and from experimental preclinical models strongly supports that fetal hypoxia is an independent risk factor for offspring cardiovascular disease.…”

“…7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] These findings support epidemiological evidence from human pregnancies, which show hypoxia during development can increase the risk of cardiac dysfunction in offspring. [18][19][20][21][22][23] Combined, evidence derived from human clinical studies and from experimental preclinical models strongly supports that fetal hypoxia is an independent risk factor for offspring cardiovascular disease. Understanding the factors that drive cardiac dysfunction in hypoxic pregnancies provides an exciting opportunity to develop therapeutics that prevent abnormal developmental programming of cardiovascular disease.…”

“…It should be mentioned that NO synthase inhibition is an established animal model of preeclampsia [25,26]. In our study, pregnant females supplemented with L-NAME have common symptoms of human preeclampsia, such as arterial hypertension, a decrease in the blood content of nitric oxide metabolites, and intrauterine growth restriction of the offspring [21][22][23]. Therefore, our findings could be useful for understanding the mechanisms of cardiovascular disorders in the offspring produced under conditions of maternal preeclampsia.…”

“…In contrast, NO deficiency delays sympathetic innervation development. Importantly, a decrease in NO bioavailability in the developing organism may be the result of maternal preeclampsia [20,21], which affects up to 5% of all pregnancies and has adverse outcomes on the offspring circulatory system [22,23]. In particular, neonatal arterial hypotension is common in infants born from preeclamptic mothers [24], although it is not yet clear whether this is due to the underdevelopment of sympathetic vascular control.…”

“…Preeclampsia is a relevant issue in obstetrics, affecting 2–8% of pregnancies worldwide. It is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in the perinatal period of mothers and their offspring [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. The mechanism of preeclampsia is yet to be fully understood.…”
