Study of Heart Health During Pregnancy and Its Impact on Mother and Baby Outcomes

What this Trial Is About

Pregnancy is a crucial time to assess and manage cardiovascular health risks for both mothers and their children. Researchers are studying the use of the American Heart Associations Lifes Essential 8 as a new way to evaluate cardiovascular health in pregnant women. The goal is to better understand how this tool can be applied and to develop appropriate cardiovascular health standards during pregnancy. The study involves observing pregnant women aged 20 to 49 who conceived naturally and are carrying a single baby. Participants will complete questionnaires, undergo clinical follow-ups, and provide specimens for analysis. The research focuses on monitoring cardiovascular health throughout pregnancy to explore its impact on pregnancy outcomes. During the study, researchers will track maternal and newborn health outcomes up to 42 weeks of gestation. Participants will be involved in routine prenatal checkups and data collection to support the studys assessments. This observational study helps gather important information on cardiovascular health during pregnancy without altering the standard care process.
