Pregnancy loss (PL) is significantly associated with a greater cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, according to a recent study published in the European Heart Journal.
The spontaneous loss of a woman's pregnancy before the 20th week can be both physically and emotionally painful. Miscarriage is the most common type of pregnancy loss and often occurs because the foetus isn't developing normally.
