Key Points Question What is the association of the concomitant occurrence of gestational diabetes (GD) and gestational hypertensive disorder (GHTD) with the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD)? Findings In a cohort study of 886 295 women, compared with no GD and no GHTD, the co-occurrence of GHTD and GD was associated with a 2.4-fold higher risk of incident CVD. A risk that is significantly higher than that of the CVD risk associated with each of these conditions in isolation. Meaning These findings suggest that the co-occurrence of GD and GHTD is associated with a high postpartum CVD risk.
