Investigating heart failure in middle-aged women with adverse pregnancy outcomes

Middle-aged Women With Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine · NCT06338943

This study is looking at whether middle-aged women who had problems during pregnancy are more likely to develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the relationship between heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and adverse pregnancy outcomes in middle-aged women. It will assess the frequency of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with and without HFpEF and compare their clinical and historical data. The study utilizes echocardiography and questionnaires to gather relevant information from participants. The goal is to identify potential markers and predictors for HFpEF development linked to pregnancy complications.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are middle-aged women who have experienced adverse pregnancy outcomes and are undergoing echocardiography.

Not a fit: Patients with a left ventricle ejection fraction below 50% or those who refuse to participate will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better understanding and early identification of heart failure risks in women with adverse pregnancy histories.

How similar studies have performed: While the relationship between pregnancy complications and heart failure is being explored, this specific focus on HFpEF in middle-aged women is relatively novel.
