Congenital Heart Disease and Maternal Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a relatively common illness that can complicate pregnancy and result in an increased incidence of congenital malformations. Offspring of diabetic mothers suffering from type IDDM have a fivefold incidence of congenital malformations compared to pregnancies in the general healthy population. Specifically, the pattern of congenital heart disease (CHD) encountered among this group, with an emphasis on abnormalities of laterality, looping and conotruncal septation, suggesting that the maternal… Show more

“…Maternal obesity and hyperglycaemia affect the offspring through the egg cell quality, intrauterine environment and foetal organ development. These metabolic conditions eventually increase the risk for cardiac dysfunction at birth, and early onset diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases later in life 4–9. Higher maternal blood glucose concentration, even below the diagnostic criteria for GDM, is associated with increased birth weight, elevated levels of cord-blood C-peptide, childhood obesity and elevated blood pressure, independent of maternal body mass index (BMI) 10–12.…”

“…These metabolic conditions eventually increase the risk for cardiac dysfunction at birth, and early onset diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases later in life. (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) Higher maternal blood glucose concentration, even below the diagnostic criteria for GDM, is associated with increased birth weight, elevated levels of cord-blood C-peptide, childhood obesity, and elevated blood pressure, independent of maternal body mass index (BMI). (10)(11)(12) Besides the inheritable risk factors, epigenetic modifications in utero, low-grade inflammation, and modifications of the gut microbiome can also negatively affect the cardiometabolic health of the offspring.…”
