Maternal smoking and infant cardiovascular physiology: a mechanism of early cardiovascular disease development?
For many years, smoking has been linked to detrimental outcomes in pregnancy, with an increased risk of preterm and still births. There is now also a growing body of evidence that prenatal smoke exposure is linked with longer-term health problems for the offspring, including neurological, respiratory, and, in particular, cardiovascular disorders. Maternal smoking has been associated with increa...

متن کاملAdaptations of maternal cardiovascular and renal physiology to pregnancy
Major cardiovascular and renal changes occur during pregnancy to ensure optimal development of the placenta and fetus, and to protect the health of the mother. These changes include increases in the cardiac output and reductions in the systemic vascular resistance and systemic blood pressure. A clear understanding of all these changes is necessary in order to understand how disruptions in the n...
