Obesity Prior to Pregnancy May Lead to Heart Failure Study Suggests

Obesity Prior to Pregnancy May Lead to Heart Failure Study Suggests: A study suggests obesity prior to being pregnant can potentially cause a long-term danger of heart failure in women. Gynecologists and obstetricians at Beersheba’s Soroka University Medical Center and the Ben-Gurion University community health department looked into follow-up reports of mothers in order to access the effects of obesity on women who were pregnant in a retrospective study. The study noticed an association for future risk of cardiovascular mortality and an earlier age of heart attacks in women who were obese before getting pregnant.
