Abstract
Maternal placental syndromes (MPS), including the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and abruption or infarction of the placenta, likely originate from diseased placental vessels. MPS is more common in women who exhibit the metabolic syndrome and classic risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including obesity, preβpregnancy hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. The link between the MPS and premature cardiovascular disease is likely mediated by a woman's metabolic syndrome profile, thus providing an early opportunity for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in women through dietary and lifestyle modifications.
