CARDIOVASCULAR RISK IN WOMEN WITH PREECLAMPSIA.

In this study, possible biochemical and functional cardiovascular markers were assessed in women with preeclampsia. Fifty-five pregnant women with manifest moderate (mild) preeclampsia (PE) and fifty healthy women as a control group were included in this prospective study. Laboratory tests including lipid panel, C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine levels as biohumoral markers of atherogenesis, as well as ergometry and the main cardiovascular risk factor markers were performed in all women during pregnancy and six months after delivery.

Obstetric shock and shock in obstetrics - steady obstetrical syndrome.

Obstetric shock (OS) has been defined as a life-threatening cardiovascular collapse syndrome associated with pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium (obstetrics causes), and is the most significant cause of high maternal mortality (MM) throughout human history. Shock in obstetrics (SIO) refers to indirect causes of non-obstetrics causes in pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium (polytrauma, aesthetic incidents, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular incidents, other septic syndromes). The goals of OS treatment are: to quickly detect the location or cause of bleeding / injury / inflammation, prevent the progression of shock, prevent massive transfusions, preserve the uterus (and adnexa), and preserve fertility if possible.

Sudden death of a pregnant woman because of massive aspiration-case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Massive aspiration of gastric contents as a cause of death in pregnancy without anesthesia is possible, but is not documented in the available literature as a separate case report.

Aim: To describe sudden death of a pregnant woman because of massive aspiration of gastric contents.

Case Report: The presence of a valvular anomaly in a 26-year-old woman had been known since childhood: the prolapse of both mitral cusps.
