Long-term sertraline treatment and depression effects on carotid artery atherosclerosis in premenopausal female primates
Conclusions: These findings suggest that chronic SSRI treatment is associated with the progression of carotid artery atherosclerosis, which may increase the risk for future vascular events, particularly in depressed women. The underlying mechanism remains to be determined, but does not appear to be related to SSRI effects on traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Screening for Preeclampsia: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement
(Abstracted from JAMA 2017;317(16):1661–1667) Approximately 4% of pregnancies in the United States are affected by preeclampsia, defined as new-onset hypertension (or worsening hypertension in patients with existing hypertension) after 20 weeks' gestation, combined with either new-onset proteinuria or other symptoms involving multiple organ systems. This disorder is associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes, including maternal mortality, maternal stroke, low birth weight, and stillbirth.

Use of Combined Hormonal Contraceptives Among Women With Migraines and Risk of Ischemic Stroke
(Abstracted from Am J Obstet Gynecol 2017;216:489.e1–489.e7) Migraine headaches occur commonly in women; more than 40% will have a migraine during their lifetime. Women of reproductive age who experience migraine, especially those with aura are at increased risk of ischemic stroke.

KL 10 Animal models for gestational hypertension
Publication date: July 2017 Source:Pregnancy Hypertension: An International Journal of Women's Cardiovascular Health, Volume 9 Author(s): Christian Delles, Delyth Graham, Hannah L. Morgan, Heather Y. Small, Shona Ritchie The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and particularly of hypertension is increasing worldwide. Consequently, the number of women with hypertension in pregnancy is also increasing. Several rodent models of hypertension have been characterised in depth but only few models exhibit the complex cardiovascular phenotype that is typically seen in human hypertension. The stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensi...

Non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM ®) can predict the evolution of uteroplacental disease—Results of the prospective HANDLE study
Conclusions NICOM® derived maternal haemodynamic profile at 14 weeks’ gestation has the novel potential to identify pregnancies which will ultimately develop uteroplacental disease.

Clinical Validation of Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitoring in Healthy Pregnant Women.
CONCLUSIONS: There is no gold standard for the measurement of cardiac output in the setting of pregnancy. However, once normal values have been established, NICOM has the potential to be a useful clinical tool for monitoring maternal hemodynamics in pregnant women. Further investigation regarding the validity of NICOM is required in larger populations of healthy and hypertensive pregnant women to determine whether this device is appropriate for maternal hemodynamic assessment during pregnancy.

The 2017 hormone therapy position statement of The North American Menopause Society
Abstract: The 2017 Hormone Therapy Position Statement of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) updates the 2012 Hormone Therapy Position Statement of The North American Menopause Society and identifies future research needs. An Advisory Panel of clinicians and researchers expert in the field of women's health and menopause was recruited by NAMS to review the 2012 Position Statement, evaluate new literature, assess the evidence, and reach consensus on recommendations, using the level of evidence to identify the strength of recommendations and the quality of the evidence. The Panel's recommendations were reviewed and a...

Stroke after Pregnancy Disorders
Women with hypertensive pregnancy disorders are at risk of developing stroke, possibly mediated by female-specific risk factors. Pregnancy is considered to be a stress test for cardiovascular health later in life [1]. In the current study we assessed the occurrence of pregnancy disorders, among women with a history of ischemic stroke who participated in the Dutch acute stroke study (DUST) and related these risk factors to age of stroke onset, stroke subtype, radiological characteristics and clinical outcome.

Maternal Cardiovascular Mortality in Illinois, 2002-2011.
CONCLUSION: From 2002 to 2011, more than one fifth of maternal deaths in Illinois were attributed to cardiovascular disease such as cardiomyopathy. More than one fourth of these deaths were potentially preventable. Health care provider and patient factors were identified, which may be modifiable through education and intensive postpartum monitoring, which may diminish mortality. State maternal mortality reviews can identify opportunities for reducing maternal deaths. PMID: 28383382 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Postpartum Hypertension: Etiology, Diagnosis, and Management
Conclusions and Relevance: Providers must be aware of the risks associated with postpartum hypertension and educate women about the symptoms of postpartum preeclampsia. Severe acute hypertension should be treated in a timely fashion to avoid morbidity and mortality. Women with persistent postpartum hypertension should be administered a long-acting antihypertensive agent. Target Audience: Obstetricians and gynecologists, family physicians. Learning Objectives: After completing this activity, the learner should be better able to assist patients and providers in identifying postpartum hypertension; provide a framework for t...

Committee Opinion No. 692: Emergent Therapy for Acute-Onset, Severe Hypertension During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period.
Authors: Abstract Acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both can occur during the prenatal, intrapartum, or postpartum periods. Pregnant women or women in the postpartum period with acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both require urgent antihypertensive therapy. Introducing standardized, evidence-based clinical guidelines for the management of patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia has been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of adverse maternal outcomes. Individuals and institutions should have mechanisms in place to initiate the...
