More women are having heart attacks after birth, study finds
“The risk of having a
heart attack while pregnant, in labor, or shortly after birth seems to be on
the rise, according to a new analysis to be published in Mayo ClinicProceedings. Researchers analyzed birth records between 2002 and 2014 and found
there were 1,061 heart attacks during labor and delivery and 2,390 in the two-month
recovery period after birth. Another 922 women were hospitalized for heart
attacks while pregnant. The prevalence rose 25 percent during that period,
which the researchers say might be partly due to more women giving birth at
later ages, when the risk of heart attack is higher. The death rate due to
heart attack stayed stable at 4.5 percent — which the authors say is
concerning, given advances in treating and preventing heart attacks”.
