Prevalence, trends, and outcomes of cardiovascular diseases in pregnant patients in the USA: 2010–19

Abstract

There is an increasing age-adjusted trend in overall CVD and its subtypes among pregnant patients in the USA from 2010 to 2019. Pregnant patients with CVD had higher odds of in-hospital mortality than those without CVD. However, in-hospital all-cause mortality among patients with and without CVD has decreased over the past 10 years. CVD was associated with higher 6-week postpartum all-cause readmission, myocardial infarction, and stroke rates.
