New study reveals relationship between "uterus" and heart disease

Chronic hypoxia, or "hypoxia in the uterus", is the leading cause of a baby's injury during pregnancy, which increases the risk of heart disease later.

A study by scientists at the University of Cambridge found that infection began with the uterus, with hypoxia being a common side effect of pregnancy complications, such as reflux. , gestational diabetes, and maternal smoking.

Chronic hypoxia is known to be one of the most common side effects of pregnancy complications, such as relapses, gestational diabetes or even simply smoking in the mother.

The study, funded in part by the British Heart Foundation, indicates that risk can be determined before birth to determine if risk can be avoided.

During the study, the researchers administered vitamin C to pregnant women during placement in low-oxygen chambers for one-third of the pregnancy, helping to reduce blood viscosity and arterial pressure.

The research team wrote in the journal PLOS Biology that adult children with chronic hypoxia during pregnancy increased their signs of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension and blood vessels.

"Vitamin C helps increase the supply of oxygen through the placenta, but it's not efficient enough," said Professor Dino Giusani of the Department of Physiology and Neuroscience, who was leading the Research team.

Dr. Kirsty Brin of the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience said that the study emphasizes the need to focus more on prevention and not on the treatment of heart disease.
