Objective Observational studies show that hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) are related to unfavourable maternal cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk profiles later in life. We investigated whether genetic liability to pre-eclampsia/eclampsia and gestational hypertension is associated with CVD risk factors and occurrence of CVD events.

Background As only a small proportion of patients with chest pain suffers from myocardial infarction (MI), safe rule-out of MI is of immense importance. For the adjusted CAD-score (age, sex, hypertension), at a cut-off value of <20, NPV was 90.0 –96.3). The corresponding positive predictive value (PPV) was 6.8 (2.7–16.2).
