  1. Machine learning showed promising accuracy for early PAS diagnosis
    Review of machine learning techniques for early diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum shows improved accuracy over conventional imaging methods, though generalizability challenges remain.
  2. Non-pregnancy SCAD showed low but significant in-hospital mortality
    Analysis of 4,563 hospitalizations reveals significant sex and racial disparities in treatment patterns and mortality outcomes for non-pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
  3. Review describes current practice and unresolved issues in fetal cardiac intervention
    Review of current fetal cardiac intervention practices and challenges, examining intervention timing, patient selection criteria, and complication management in severe congenital heart disease.
  4. Analysis of Laboratory and Obstetric Outcomes in Preeclampsia: A Comparative Study of Bolu and Şanlıurfa
    Comparative study of preeclampsia outcomes in two Turkish centers reveals higher blood pressure, liver enzyme elevations, and complication rates in Şanlıurfa versus Bolu.
  5. Pregnancy-associated SCAD showed a higher-risk clinical pattern
    Registry study reveals pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection cases have distinct clinical profiles, lower fibromuscular dysplasia rates, and reduced cardiac recovery.
  6. Oral contraceptive use linked to SCAD-related heart attack in a young woman
    Case report documents acute myocardial infarction from spontaneous coronary artery dissection in 32-year-old woman using oral contraceptives, with successful conservative management.
  7. Pregnancy in familial hypercholesterolemia needs individualized care
    Explore tailored management strategies for familial hypercholesterolemia in pregnancy, addressing evidence gaps and the need for stage-specific, individualized approaches to optimize maternal and.
  8. Isolated CAE in MI linked to more recurrent events
    Isolated diffuse coronary artery ectasia increases recurrent MI and stent thrombosis risk. Index artery events occur more frequently in affected patients.
  9. History of preeclampsia linked to later cardiovascular risk
    Retrospective study demonstrates that preeclampsia significantly increases long-term risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and metabolic complications in women.
  10. Placental abruption linked to higher cardiovascular risk in twin offspring
    Placental abruption in twin pregnancies associates with elevated cardiovascular disease risk in offspring, with preterm delivery mediating substantial but incomplete effects.
  11. Cyclophilin A was higher before and during preeclampsia
    Serum cyclophilin A concentrations are elevated in women with preeclampsia across pregnancy trimesters, with higher levels in early-onset disease, suggesting a role in pathogenesis.
  12. Targeted Metabolomic Profiling of Carnitines Reveals Diagnostic Candidates in Postpartum Cardiomyopathy
    Targeted metabolomics study identifies altered carnitine profiles in postpartum cardiomyopathy, with acetylcarnitine and related species as potential diagnostic biomarker candidates.
  13. Echocardiography showed worse hemodynamics with severe pregnancy hypertension
    Echocardiographic assessment reveals progressive systolic and diastolic hemodynamic alterations in hypertensive pregnancy correlating with disease severity and adverse outcomes.
  14. Myocardial work detected subclinical LV dysfunction in autoimmune pregnancies
    Myocardial work analysis reveals subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in pregnant women with autoimmune disease, with apical constructive work reduction as a consistent finding.
  15. Retrospective Validation Of a Patient-Initiated Preconception Screener Against Obstetric Comorbidity Indices To Assess Pregnancy Complications
    Retrospective validation of patient-initiated PreMA preconception screener demonstrates comparable predictive validity to established obstetric comorbidity indices for severe maternal morbidity.
  16. Offspring CHD incidence was higher in mothers with CHD
    Retrospective cohort study quantifying congenital heart defect incidence in offspring of non-syndromic affected mothers, with characterization of defect severity patterns.
  17. Left anterior descending artery spasm caused a large anterior myocardial infarction
    Rare case of extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction caused by left anterior descending artery spasm without coronary obstruction, diagnosed using cardiac MRI and OCT imaging.
  18. Low-dose aspirin is recommended to prevent preeclampsia in high-risk pregnancy
    Review of aspirin's pharmacological mechanisms and clinical evidence for low-dose therapy in pregnancy, emphasizing preeclampsia prevention and improved outcomes in high-risk populations.
  19. Adult Kawasaki disease linked to coronary vessel wall abnormalities
    Study reveals coronary vessel wall abnormalities using optical coherence tomography in adults years after severe Kawasaki disease, including thrombotic substrates.
  20. Echocardiography may help identify high-risk pregnancy-induced hypertension patients
    Echocardiographic parameters independently predict adverse pregnancy outcomes in women aged 35+ with pregnancy-induced hypertension, with combined assessment achieving excellent discrimination.
