Pregnancy-related cardiovascular complications are rare clinical conditions that can lead to significant maternal morbidity and mortality. With the implementation of infertility treatment, a new selected population of woman can experience pregnancy. Women with multiple medical problems and women near or beyond menopause are now able to conceive. Despite many unanswered questions, clinicians should be prepared for the challenges and potential cardiovascular complications related to patients who are epidemiologically different than those seen in the past.

Purpose of investigation: The aim of this study is to compare pregnancy outcomes between women older than 35 years and a control group composed by younger patients. Materials and Methods: The study involves pregnant women admitted to the present Department from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. Enrolled pregnants were divided into two groups: group 1 (“cases”) included women over 35 years and group 2 (“controls”) included women younger than 35 years. Clinical data were collected through the patients’ obstetrical files.
