Cardiovascular Risk Reduction in Women Following Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy - a Prospective, Randomised, Controlled Interventional Study

Conclusion The study documents the feasibility of lifestyle intervention with physical exercise after delivery (starting 6 weeks postpartum). The intervention showed a significant clinical effect by reducing arterial stiffness to the level of the reference group. Before this intervention can be included in the standard of care and prevention, follow-up studies must confirm these results and the medium-term effects on cardiovascular risk.PMID:34393260 | PMC:PMC8354345 | DOI:10.1055/a-1345-8733
