Peer-Reviewed Publication

About The Study: In this large national cohort, all adverse pregnancy outcomes except small for gestational age were associated with increased risk for atrial fibrillation up to 46 years later. Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes need early preventive actions and long-term clinical follow-up for timely detection and treatment of cardiovascular disorders related to the development of atrial fibrillation.
