Babies with mothers who suffer pre-eclampsia (pregnancy poisoning) have a greater risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease related diseases of the heart.

Pre-eclampsia, which is a complication of pregnancy is relatively common, or problems with the placenta can reduce the amount of oxygen the fetus receives. It's slow growth and damage to cardiovascular, metabolic, and endocrine system of infants.

The team from Cambridge University examined pregnancy with limited oxygen. They studied the behavior of pregnant animals. They also observed changes in how the fetus grows when oxygen is limited and crucial changes in the body development of lock system.

The scientists speculate that it may cause the baby to be born 'intimate' with the risk of cardiovascular disease and problems.

It is well known, that the changes in maternal nutrition can affect fetal development and affect sensitivity to disease.

"But a successful research to investigate how low levels of oxygen in the womb may affect infant development," said lead researcher Dr Dino Giussani.

Giussani added, their study shows how changes in some of the available oxygen in the womb have a profound effect on fetal development. That is what causes early heart disease.

The researchers say their study on animals showed the possibility of a way out. Damage caused by lack of oxygen can be improved by encouraging beneficial nutrients such as vitamin C and E, selenium, and lycopene in the mother's diet.

Dr Giussani expressed hope for the nutrients that may be able to stop the development of heart disease since very early. He also expects the entry of preventative medicine back into the womb.

Two studies conducted recently have shown the relationship between pre-eclampsia and the maternal risk in the development of cardiovascular disease. However, it is unclear whether the condition itself is a risk factor or whether those who develop the condition during pregnancy are more easily affected by the problem.

David Williams, a consultant at the Institute for the content of Women's Health, London, said babies born from women with pre-eclampsia during pregnancy treated smaller than average. He also said there was a clear relationship between birth weight infants, regardless of the cause, and additional risk of cardiovascular disease in the future.

However, he warned the opposition uses antioxidant supplements as a way to prevent fetal growth restriction or pre-eclampsia. "Maybe a small amount of oxidative stress necessary for a healthy pregnancy," he explained.
