Résumé

Maternal obesity and advanced age have been associated with an increased risk of structural congenital heart defects in the offspring. Whether these factors may also cause abnormalities in infant cardiac dimension and function is unknown. This study investigates whether maternal body mass index (BMI) and maternal age are associated with changes in left ventricular (LV) dimensions and function in the newborn. Infants enrolled in the Copenhagen Baby Heart Study (CBHS), who were born at term, and contributed with a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 60 days of birth were included. The exposure variables were prepregnancy maternal BMI (kg/m The study cohort included 24,294 infants. Compared with infants in the BMI reference group, infants born to women with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m Systematic population-based echocardiography of infants showed that a maternal prepregnancy BMI ≥ 25 kg/m April 2016, Copenhagen Baby Heart, NCT02753348 .

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Maternal obesity and advanced age have been associated with an increased risk of structural congenital heart defects in the offspring. Whether these factors may also cause abnormalities in infant cardiac dimension and function is unknown. This study investigates whether maternal body mass index (BMI) and maternal age are associated with changes in left ventricular (LV) dimensions and function in the newborn.
METHODS METHODS
Infants enrolled in the Copenhagen Baby Heart Study (CBHS), who were born at term, and contributed with a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 60 days of birth were included. The exposure variables were prepregnancy maternal BMI (kg/m
RESULTS RESULTS
The study cohort included 24,294 infants. Compared with infants in the BMI reference group, infants born to women with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Systematic population-based echocardiography of infants showed that a maternal prepregnancy BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
