Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world, and, in turn, preeclampsia is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide.Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, framed mainly within preeclampsia, translate into consequences that can be immediate, such as an increase in maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality; however, their implications extend further, and they are thought to contribute to the subsequent development of cardiovascular disease even years after pregnancy.Thus, preeclampsia should be considered a health alert for women, implementing prevention tools that impact modifiable risk factors and recommending healthy lifestyles with the aim of avoiding future cardiovascular disease and mortality from this cause.This article will review the association of preeclampsia and cardiovascular disease in light of current evidence.
