All participants underwent comprehensive echocardiographic assessment including speckle\u2010tracking\u2010derived global longitudinal strain (GLS) analysis during the third trimester (28\u201332\u2009weeks gestation). The relationship between parity and GLS was described using multivariable linear regression analysis, adjusting for age, body mass index and blood pressure.

Despite preserved ejection fraction across all women (63.2%\u2009\u00b1\u20094.7%), each additional pregnancy was associated with a 0.21\u2010unit worsening in GLS independent of age (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.21, 95% CI: 0.13\u20130.29,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
