Recent Findings Pregnancy-related factors, including hypertensive disorders and gestational diabetes, increase the risk of heart failure in women, while breastfeeding and hormone therapy may offer protection. Summary Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, placental abruption, younger maternal age at first live birth, younger maternal age at last live birth, number of stillbirths, number of pregnancies, onset of menstruation before 12 years of age, shorter reproductive age, ovariectomy, and prolonged absence of ovarian hormones may increase the risk of heart failure in women. Conversely, breastfeeding status and hormone therapy (for menopause or contraception) may serve as protective factors, while fertility treatments have no discernible effect on the risk of heart failure.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1007/s11897-024-00657-xhttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11897-024-00657-xmetadata only access616-083Female sexWoman genderHeart failureRisk factorReproductive factorsEnfermería3299 Otras Especialidades Médicas
