April 30, 2021
Kent Thornberg, Ph.D., is quoted in a news story about new research regarding high blood pressure in mothers and their unborn children: "It's the first time it's been shown definitively that mothers who have high blood pressure are likely to have babies whose heart anatomy is slightly different. That's important because we think heart muscle (changes) make it more likely that that heart will be susceptible to heart disease later in life."
