Cardiometabolic risk factors and target-organ damage in women with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy 10 years and more after delivery

Objective: to assess cardiometabolic risk factors and target-organ damage in women with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy 10 years and more after delivery. Material and methods. A cross-sectional study based on a prospective cohort study. The study included 66 women divided into two groups: group 1 - with a history of hypertensive pregnancy disorders (n=33), group 2 (control) -with a history of normotensive pregnancies (n=33). Results. The frequency of cardiometabolic risk factors in group 1, including arterial hypertension (87.9 vs6.1%, p=0.019), abdominal obesity (36.4 vs 12.1%, p=0.042), increased uric acid levels (18.2 and no cases in group 2, p =0.012) and impaired fasting glycemia (15.2 vs 3.0%, p=0,197) and a higher laboratory markers of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR index 1.47 [0.55-1.62] vs 0.40 [0.27-0.67], p
