It is now abundantly clear that the geneenvironment interaction in early life may be just as important as the gene–adult lifestyle interaction in setting a risk of heart disease, if not more so. Likewise, alterations in cardiac morphology in utero may not only trigger congenital heart disease but also significantly influence cardiac function in adulthood. Several studies have reported that suboptimal conditions during early life can adversely affect the morphology and functional phenotype of the heart of the adult offspring. These include studies during pregnancy of altered maternal nutrition (Langley-Evans, 2009; Loche & Ozanne, 2016), excess glucocorticoid exposure (Nyirenda & Seckl, 1998; Singh et al. 2012) and impaired fetal oxygenation (Patterson & Zhang, 2010; Giussani & Davidge, 2013). Importantly, many of these studies have reported that the early life programming of pronounced cardiac and endothelial dysfunction does not always accompany hypertension in the adult offspring. Therefore, the studies highlight that routine measurement of arterial blood pressure without deeper functional cardiovascular analysis adds little to the clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular pathology in the offspring, programmed by adverse conditions during pregnancy in humans.
