Is maternal blood pressure the key to vascular dysfunction in preterm offspring with elevated blood pressure?
An inverse association between birth weight and systolic blood pressure was first noted by Barker et al.1 Since then experimental studies have not only substantiated this finding but also provided insight into the potential mechanisms by which adverse influences during critical periods of fetal life lead to increased blood pressure and cardiovascular risk.2 Recent studies indicate that early po...
متن کاملFetal Programming Elevated Blood Pressure in Offspring Born Premature to Hypertensive Pregnancy Is Endothelial Dysfunction the Underlying Vascular Mechanism?
Offspring born to mothers with hypertensive pregnancy have higher childhood blood pressure. We hypothesized this relates to prenatally programmed differences in the underlying vascular pathophysiology of the offspring and that these would be most apparent in those born preterm because of severe hypertension. We carried out a 20-year follow-up study of 71 subjects born preterm, 19 to a hypertens...

متن کاملMaternal calcium intake and offspring blood pressure.
BACKGROUND Few data exist on the intergenerational influence of calcium intake during pregnancy on offspring blood pressure. METHODS AND RESULTS As part of the ongoing US prospective cohort study Project Viva, we analyzed 4091 Dinamap blood pressure measurements from 936 six-month-old infants whose mothers had completed food frequency questionnaires during the second trimester of pregnancy. W...
متن کاملPreventing vascular events due to elevated blood pressure.
Elevated blood pressure (BP) demonstrates a consistent, strong, and graded relationship across the entire spectrum at levels 110 mm Hg systolic with several cardiovascular disease outcomes including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, heart failure, and renal dysfunction.1 The population attributable risk due to elevated BP is large and consistent in all ethnic groups and ...
