We thank Florez I et al i . for their comment on our recent study, which found no significant differences in cardiac changes before and after delivery in a cohort of women with pregnancy complicated by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP)1. We agree with Florez I et al i . that a cardiovascular screening program might be expensive and time-consuming; therefore, it should be introduced for a population with a high risk for CVD, such as women who develop HDP. Although it is still unknown how to investigate and monitor women who are at increased risk of short- and long-term cardiovascular diseases (CVD), our findings could help future studies design peripartum cardiovascular screening, which could be performed before or after delivery, in HDP patients2,3.
