The Importance of Inflammatory and Angiogenic Markers in the Evaluation of Early Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Women with Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy.

Background: Women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have a significantly higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases later in life. The stratification of this risk using biomarkers during pregnancy can help to identify these women and apply early prevention.

Objective: We aimed to determine proinflammatory cytokines and angiogenic markers, echocardiographic parameter changes after delivery and predict early cardiovascular disease risk in women with arterial hypertension and its complications during pregnancy.
