Long-term heart health after pregnancy

This study follows young adults who previously joined the ALSPAC study to better understand long-term heart and metabolic health after a pregnancy affected by high blood pressure. You may be asked to return for visits and possibly an MRI, and your data may help researchers plan better long-term care.
This study tests ways to improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) care for women after they had high blood pressure during pregnancy. It may help you get better guidance to prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at how the heart muscle reacts in people with high blood pressure. You may have heart imaging (MRI) and blood pressure monitoring to understand patterns and potential ways to help.
This trial tests whether showing women images of their own artery plaque can help them better control blood pressure one year after childbirth. It is for women who had certain pregnancy problems like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, early birth, or a baby that grew too slowly.
This study looks at heart and metabolic health during late pregnancy and after delivery, tracking both healthy women and those with complications like high blood pressure or diabetes in pregnancy. The goal is to understand how these risks change and what can be done to improve long-term health.
This study looks at how the heart adapts during pregnancy and the months after giving birth. It uses simple tests to measure heart rate and blood flow, which may help doctors better understand normal changes and identify risks early.
