PP068. Evaluation of cardiovascular health in previously preeclamptic women

Introduction Women with a history of preeclampsia have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life. Classical risk scores are not suitable as risk estimates of CVD in this young population. Recent recommendations from the American Heart Association are aimed to improve cardiovascular health (CVH). Objectives Examining CVH by Health Life Check (HLC) ( http://mylifecheck.heart.org/ ) in previously severe preeclamptic women is part of our cardiovascular risk follow-up program. Final score is a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 represents ideal CVH. Results Since 2011 HLC is offered to all women in this program. So far, 213 women were included, 148 (70%) underwent a CVH assessment by performing HLC between three months and one year after delivery. The overall HLC score was 7.4 (median; range: 0.8–10.0) at 3.6 months after the delivery. Only 2 out of 148 women (1.4%) had an ideal score. HLC score was 7.1 (median; range: 0.8–10.0) for 48 women who had a HLC score within 6 months after delivery versus 8.2 (median; range: 2.6–9.8) in the second half of the first year after delivery. Conclusion These are the first data on CVH in women after severe preeclampsia. Only 1.4% of these women had an ideal score. Active counselling of these women could be the reason of the improved score over time. We showed that CVH as assessed by HLC is an excellent tool for cardiovascular risk management in this specific group of women.
