DESCRIPTION:Many women experience high blood pressure during pregnancy\, a
 nd it is increasingly recognised as an early warning sign for health probl
 ems later in life. Conditions such as gestational hypertension and preecla
 mpsia are known to increase a woman’s longer-term risk of stroke\, heart
  disease and dementia.\n\nYet most women receive little follow-up once the
 ir baby is born. Recent studies by University of Oxford researchers have s
 hown that\, by monitoring and carefully managing their blood pressure afte
 r giving birth\, new mothers could cut their risk of future heart disease 
 and strokes – and protect their long‑term brain health. \n\nThe studie
 s\, supported by the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Oxford\, have led to
  the creation of a postpartum cardiac risk clinic in the Oxford Heart Cent
 re.\n\nThis talk will explore how pregnancy is a window into future health
 \, giving an opportunity to improve long-term care and help prevent future
  cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline in women. The speakers will 
 also show how understanding why some women develop long-term complications
  while others\nrecover fully could lead to more personalised treatment.
