Pregnant Women
Conditions
Brief summary
Pregnancy is a critical period for cardiovascular health risk assessment and interventions to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease in both mother and child generations. Recently, the American Heart Association proposed the latest cardiovascular health assessment indicator "Life's Essential 8". However, there is still a lack of application data for pregnant women. This project intends to explore the application potential of Life's Essential 8 in cardiovascular health assessment of pregnant women and establish appropriate gestaional cardiovascular health standards.
