According to a study on Monday, women who give birth to twins are double the risk of heart problem compared to single -born women. Research published in the European Heart Journal has shown that the mother of twin children is more at risk of hospitalization due to heart disease one year after birth. Especially, the risk in those people who had high blood pressure conditions during pregnancy, also known as Preclampsia.
This study under the leadership of researchers at the University of Rutgers in the US has been conducted at a time when “the rate of twin pregnancies worldwide has increased in recent decades, due to fertility treatment and mother’s older age”.
Hearts hard work for twin pregnancies
Ratgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellow, Prominent writer Dr. Ruby Lynn said, “Material heart works hard for twin pregnancies compared to single pregnancies and Material Heart returns to the condition before pregnancy. It takes weeks. ” He said, “People with twin pregnancies should be aware of the short-term growth of heart disease in the first year after birth, even if their pregnancy has not complicated with high blood pressure conditions, such as pre-eclampsia. ” The study analyzed delivery data at 36 million hospitals in the US from 2010 to 2020.
The possibility of hospitalization after pregnancy is almost doubled:
Results showed that within a year of giving birth to women with twins, the ratio of twice recruitment for heart disease (1,105.4 per 100,000 delivery) was more than women with single conception (734.1 per 100,000 delivery). Compared to single pregnancy with normal blood pressure, people with twin children with normal blood pressure were almost double the possibility of hospitalization with heart disease.
Risk for twin children more than eight times
The risk for twins with high blood pressure during pregnancy was more than eight times. However, the study has shown that one year after birth, there was more death in patients with single pregnancy than twins with high blood pressure conditions, including heart disease for any reason.
This suggests that the risk for the mothers of twin children decreases in a long time, while other mothers of single children may have already existing heart related risk factors.
Lynn said that patients passing through fertility treatment, especially old age, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease, should be advised that the risk of heart disease increases in less time than twin pregnancies.
He also urged the health care provider to continue follow-up action for high-risk pregnancy until one year after birth.
