According to a new study, women who give birth to twins are double the risk of heart disease than women who have given birth to a single child. The research was published in the European Heart Journal and found that the mothers of twins are more likely to be hospitalized within a year of delivery due to heart disease. If a woman had a problem of high blood pressure during pregnancy, then this danger increases even more.
In this study conducted by scientists at Rutgers University in America, it was told that in the last few decades, the cases of twin pregnancies have increased all over the world. The main reason for this is fertility treatment (treatment of infertility) and a tendency to become a mother at an older age. According to Chief Researcher Dr. Ruby Lynn, “The mother’s heart has to work more hard during the twin pregnancy and it takes several weeks to return to the normal state after delivery.” He further explained that “women who did not even have blood pressure problems during pregnancy, are also at risk of heart disease for one year after delivery.”

A study of 3.6 million delivery data in the US between 2010 and 2020 showed that the rate of hospitalization was 1,105.4 per 1 lakh delivery in the mothers of twins due to heart disease. This rate was 734.1 per 1 lakh delivery among the mothers of the same child. Even if a woman did not have a high blood pressure problem during pregnancy, the chances of twin children being hospitalized due to heart disease were doubled more than normal women. And if there was high blood pressure during pregnancy, this danger increased by eight times.
However, research also showed that women suffering from high blood pressure during single pregnancy had a higher mortality rate after delivery, while it decreased in mothers of twins. This indicates that long -term risk for mothers of twins may be low, while already existing cardiovascular problems in single pregnancy mothers may remain in effect. According to Dr. Lynn, women suffering from women passing through fertility treatment, especially older age, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease, should be made aware of the heart -related cardiac complications of twin pregnancy. Also, doctors should do regular check -up for one year after delivery of such women, so that any heart problem can be detected on time.
