6/ For more details, read the open-access paper, and listen to our interview on the Circulation on the Run podcast! 👉🏻 bit.ly/4hGJpNf Congrats to @amydjohn , @brainheartnexus @MaternalHC and all our coauthors ; and big THANKS to @CircAHA for highlighting our work!

5/ Our study highlights #HDP as a novel, female-specific risk factor for #Afib and motivates further research to understand mediators and consequences of #Afib after HDP, as well as strategies to prevent and monitor Afib in this population.

4/ We also found a dose-response relationship, whereby higher HDP severity and the presence of prepregnancy chronic hypertension were associated with higher rates of #Afib and mortality.

3/ #HDP occurred in 8%. We found that HDP was associated with a 45% ⬆️ in the risk of Afib and 31% ⬆️ in the risk of death without prior Afib dx! Importantly, events occurred in young women: mean age at cohort entry was 29yrs, and mean time to event was only 7yrs postpartum!

2/In this population-based study of >770k primiparous women followed for a median of 9.5 years, we employed multivariable cox proportional hazards models utilizing a competing risk framework to assess the association of #HDP with incident #Afib and mortality without prior Afib dx
