Maternal hemodynamics at 11-13 weeks' gestation in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Objective: Women who develop gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes and subsequent cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Individuals with cardiovascular disorders have increased central aortic systolic blood pressure (SBP(Ao)) and arterial stiffness. The hypothesis of this study is that increased SBP(Ao) and arterial stiffness are apparent before the development of GDM.
