“We were very surprised when matching the family’s medical history and other risk factors found that the cause of small birth remains a strong risk factor for maternal cardiovascular disease. Examples of these risk factors are smoking clearly increases the risk of heart disease and birth weight babies low, “Dr. Radek Bukowski, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Texas Medical Branch as reported by HealthDay.

The findings, published the journal PLoS One is providing new information on the relationship between low birth weight infants and increased risk of ischemic heart disease in the mother.
