A recent study has found that women who give birth to twins are at a significantly higher risk of developing heart disease later in life compared to those who have single births. The research highlights a concerning link between twin pregnancies and cardiovascular health, shedding light on the long-term health implications for mothers. "Increased cardiovascular demand in twin pregnancies, even those without hypertensive disease of pregnancy (HDP), may pose a greater risk for cardiovascular complications compared with singletons," the researchers have said.
The study has been published in the European Heart Journal.
