Previously, 80% of sudden cardiac arrest have been attributed to coronary artery disease. The most common comorbidities prior to OHCA were hypertension (43.6%), heart failure (23.6%), chronic ischaemic heart disease (23.6%) and atrial fibrillation (22.0%).

Hypertension during pregnancy affects up to 10% of pregnancies and is associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Finally, we explore how future cardiovascular risk may be predicted based on cardiac remodelling during or after pregnancy and suggest potential areas of further research in the field.
