Article Synopsis
- Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy-related condition that can lead to cardiovascular issues later in life, and this study investigates its impact on arterial stiffness (AS) using specific measurements.
- Conducted in Argentina from 2022 to 2023, the study compares two groups of women: those who recently had PE and healthy postpartum women, assessing their vascular health within 72 hours after giving birth.
- Results showed that women who experienced PE had significantly higher measures of arterial stiffness (cf-PWV, ao-SBP, and AIx), indicating that they are at a greater risk for developing cardiovascular diseases in the future.
Introduction: HELLP syndrome (H: hemolysis, EL: elevated liver enzymes and LP: low platelets) is a form of severe preeclampsia (PE). The syndrome can be: complete or incomplete (with three analytical criteria, or only one or two); Class i, ii or iii (according platelets < 50,000; 50,000-100,000 or > 100,000/mm); postpartum or antepartum; with early or late installation (before or after the 34nd week of gestation). We describe and analyze characteristics and evolution observed in hypertensive pregnant patients who developed HELLP.
