Warning signs of pre-eclampsia include high blood pressure, protein in urine, severe headaches, vision problems, pain below the ribs and vomiting

The risk of heart attack or stroke was still twice as high in the pre-eclampsia group more than 20 years after giving birth compared to unaffected women, researchers found.

Dr Sara Hallum of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, said the early onset means preventative treatment for cardiovascular disease should start within a decade of giving birth.

'Prevention should start within a decade of delivery, for example by treating high blood pressure and informing women about risk factors for heart disease such as smoking and inactivity.'

Joanne Whitmore, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: 'This large study is an important addition to the evidence we already have on the link between pre-eclampsia and cardiovascular risk.

Severe headaches Blurred vision, temporary loss of sight or light sensitivity Upper abdominal pain, particularly under the ribs on the right side Nausea or vomiting Reduced urination Shortness of breath due to a build up of fluid in the lungs
