Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and cardiovascular disease risk: a Mendelian randomisation study

Conclusions
Genetic liability to HDPs is associated with higher CVD risk, lower blood pressure levels and earlier hypertension diagnosis. Our study suggests similar findings in ever pregnant women, nulligravidae and men, implying biological mechanisms relating to HDPs are causally related to CVD risk.
