Long-term cardiovascular outcome in women with preeclampsia in Korea: a large population-based cohort study and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies reported the long-term cardiovascular risk of preeclampsia. However, only a few studies have investigated the association between preeclampsia and long-term cardiovascular disease in Asian populations, although there could be racial/ethnic differences in the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

This study included 68,658 parous women in the Health Examinees Study (HEXA) cohort of South Korea and compared the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease, including ischemic heart disease and stroke, according to the history of preeclampsia. We also performed a meta-analysis combining current study data with data from existing literature in the Asian population. Among
