At this visit, we recorded maternal demographic characteristics, obstetric and medical history, details regarding pregnancy outcome, weight, height, upper arm and waist circumference, lipid profile and hemoglobin A1c. We also performed a 75\u2010g oral glucose tolerance test and extensive cardiovascular assessment, including Doppler measurement of the ophthalmic arteries, carotid\u2010to\u2010femoral pulse\u2010wave velocity and echocardiography. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess which factors were associated with dysglycemia. Calibration of the model was assessed using the Hosmer\u2013Lemeshow test and its discrimination was evaluated using receiver\u2010operating\u2010characteristics (ROC) curve analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      At a median of 5\u2010months postpartum, more than half of the 770 women had dysglycemia, including 368 (47.8%) with prediabetes and 34 (4.4%) with Type\u20102 diabetes mellitus. In the multivariable analysis, the risk factors for dysglycemia were Black ethnicity (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 2.61 (95%\u2009CI, 1.71\u20133.98)), South Asian ethnicity (aOR, 1.81 (95%\u2009CI, 1.18\u20132.78)), East Asian ethnicity (aOR, 2.46 (95%\u2009CI, 1.35\u20134.48)), mixed ethnicity (aOR, 2.68 (95%\u2009CI, 1.19\u20136.04)), diagnosis of GDM &lt;\u200924\u2009weeks' gestation (aOR, 2.15 (95%\u2009CI, 1.34\u20133.45)), treatment of GDM with insulin (aOR,\u00a01.96;\u00a095%\u2009CI, 1.26\u20133.05), postnatal body mass index (BMI) (aOR, 1.47 (95%\u2009CI, 1.05\u20132.06)), central diastolic blood pressure (aOR, 1.42 (95%\u2009CI, 1.01\u20132.00)), mitral peak early diastolic flow velocity to early mitral annulus diastolic velocity ratio (E\/e\u2032) (aOR, 1.31 (95%\u2009CI, 1.00\u20131.80)) and total peripheral resistance (aOR, 0.61 (95%\u2009CI, 0.44\u20130.86)).

These findings suggest that, among women who developed GDM, those with persistent dysglycemia appear to be at increased cardiovascular risk. Further studies are needed to assess whether targeting weight loss with lifestyle or pharmacological interventions can reduce the risk not only for Type\u20102 diabetes mellitus, but also for later cardiovascular disease. \u00a9 2025 The Author(s).\n                      <jats:italic>Ultrasound in Obstetrics &amp; Gynecology<\/jats:italic>\n                      published by John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd on behalf of International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/uog.29285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,1]],"date-time":"2025-07-01T00:54:19Z","timestamp":1751331259000},"page":"155-162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Cardiovascular function in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus and dysglycemia at 5 months postpartum"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Mansukhani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine, King's College Hospital  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Lausegger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine, King's College Hospital  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Eisenkolb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine, King's College Hospital  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Eniste","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine, King's College Hospital  London UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Gomez Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine, King's College Hospital  London UK"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine Complutense University of Madrid  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1266-0711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K.
