Atherosclerosis causing cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the
developed world. Early precursors of vascular changes–subclinical atherosclerosis–warrant …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to the situation where a fetus does not grow
according to its genetic growth potential. One of the main causes of IUGR is uteroplacental …

Objectives Intrauterine growth restriction is associated with increased cardiovascular risk
later in life but the link between fetal disease and postnatal risk is not well‐documented. We …

Atherosclerosis underlies most myocardial infarctions and ischemic strokes. The timing of
onset and the rate of progression of atherosclerosis differ between individuals and among …

Background—Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects 5% to 10% of newborns and is
associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in adulthood. We evaluated whether …

Background The first 1,000 days of life, ie, from conception to age 2 years, could be a critical
period for cardiovascular health. Increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a …

Objective Among late‐onset small fetuses, a combination of estimated fetal weight (EFW),
cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) and mean uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) can predict …

The developmental origins of health and disease theory is based on evidence that a
suboptimal environment during fetal and neonatal development can significantly impact the …

Background: Our aim was to determine the influence of breastfeeding and postnatal nutrition
on cardiovascular remodeling induced by fetal growth restriction (FGR). Methods: A cohort …

Background Infants born small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) who develop post‐natal weight
catch‐up are at risk for insulin resistance, central adiposity and cardiovascular disease in …
