What are the cardiac and hypertension complications associated with stimulant use during pregnancy?
By Tripdatabase.
Abstract
Evidence suggests that stimulant use during pregnancy may exacerbate hypertension and pose some cardiac risks, though direct research is sparse. The effects are mainly hypothesised from known pharmacological impacts of stimulants like methamphetamine, which may lead to increased blood pressure and arrhythmias.
