PREG-HEART: National study on heart disease in pregnancy

Study launches to tackle leading cause of maternal death

PREG-HEART: National study on heart disease in pregnancy

Heart disease remains a leading cause of serious maternal and neonatal illness and death in the UK, yet high-quality evidence to guide care remains limited.

PREG-HEART is the first UK-wide, direct-to-patient, online research study dedicated to understanding heart disease in pregnancy.

Participation involves completing online consent and a short health questionnaire from home. No hospital visits are required.

Why share this?
Increasing participation will help build a large, representative national cohort to improve risk prediction, clinical care, and long-term outcomes for women affected by cardiovascular disease in pregnancy.
