A two-day Workshop was convened on September 16th and 17th, 2010 in Rockville, MD to provide recommendations to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) regarding pregnancy complications, specifically preeclampsia, and future maternal cardiovascular risk. The purpose of the Workshop was to bring together experts in the field to examine the associations between preeclampsia and future cardiovascular disease across different domains, including basic science and clinical practice, with a goal of identifying knowledge gaps and research opportunities that could facilitate the prevention of cardiovascular disease outcomes long-term. The Workshop consisted of experts in preventive cardiology, maternal-fetal medicine, nephrology, epidemiology, and biostatistics.
