Heart and metabolic risks in pregnancy and after birth
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks if having high blood pressure years after pregnancy is linked to long-term health. It involves a visit and possibly an MRI scan of your heart and blood vessels.
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.
This study looks at how high blood pressure during pregnancy affects the heart health of both mother and baby. It aims to understand these effects better to improve care.
This study follows people who had high blood pressure during pregnancy and/or in the first two weeks after delivery. The goal is to better understand postpartum hypertension so care can be improved for mothers at higher risk.
This study checks heart health in women who had pregnancy complications (like preeclampsia) 3–6 years ago, compared to women who had a healthy pregnancy. It aims to find early signs of heart disease so doctors can help prevent it.
