A new study shows that pregnancy-induced hypertension patients after suffering from hypertension and stroke risk will increase.

British researchers found that pregnancy-induced hypertension history of women’s risk of high blood pressure and stroke, and a history of preeclampsia women more dangerous. Its findings published in the recently published “British Medical Journal”.

Early maternal preeclampsia, or pregnancy-induced hypertension incidence of nearly 30 percent.

Cases of preeclampsia can be no signs, blood pressure rose to dangerous high-value, pre-eclampsia can progress to eclampsia, maternal and child endangering lives. Pre-eclampsia is the first cause of maternal mortality, the incidence of maternal early as 5 percent, have a history of preeclampsia women’s pregnancy when the disease’s rate of 1-2 percent. In this study, Scottish researchers at the University of Aberdeen on the 1951-70 Aberdeen in 3593 between the initial delivery of women’s health survey, hospital records and medical examination results of a retrospective analysis, when these women The average age in over 60 years old.

Study found that pregnancy-induced hypertension or preeclampsia in women after years of suffering from hypertension will increase the risk, even up to 50 years after its due to hypertension-related diseases and the patient is still very high probability, have a history of preeclampsia women’s stroke The risk of blood pressure during pregnancy is four times the normal women.

The researchers said that doctors should be aware of the history of pregnancy-induced hypertension in women after years of suffering from cardiovascular disease risk will increase. Hypertension is a treatable disease, pregnancy-induced hypertension should be regarded as high-risk groups of women, high blood pressure to early detection and treatment, thus reducing stroke and heart disease incidence.
