Prepregnancy diabetes and obesity are associated with HDPs across all groups.
But the population attributable fractions are⬆️for some.

Postpartum women 🤰 with a hx of preeclampsia show:
🫀 significant impairment in coronary endothelial function
🫀 elevated angiotensin receptor autoantibodies (AT1R-Ab)
--> increasing their risk for future CV disease
Targeted interventions are needed!
Excellent study by our very own @DrAnumMinhas @AllisonGHaysMD! @CiccaroneCenter@JAHA_AHA
First prospective study at Johns Hopkins on >1000 pts w/ #echofirst and #RHC data to define grades of severity of echo-based measures of RV dysfunction in PH population @CircImaging
https://t.co/IRN2jG73bh
Few learning points:
❗️degree of RV dysfx -> worse outcome & symptoms
❗️echo thresholds to define mild/moderate/severe RV dysfx in PH patients based on percentiles are now available
❗️FAC, RVFWLS, and RVGLS were independently associated with outcomes, whereas TAPSE was not
❗️TAPSE remained normal except when PVR≥7 WU, and even then, was only mildly reduced (1.6±0.4 cm)
❗️RVGLS <20% in PH pts increased mortality risk
❗️TAPSE/PASP and FAC/PASP decreased with increasing PVR
❗️moderately vs mildly decreased TAPSE/PASP has a 37% increased risk of death
