Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol 2018;52:196–204) Preeclampsia (PE) is associated with both postpartum endothelial dysfunction and asymptomatic structural heart alterations consistent with heart failure stage B (HF-B). This study assessed the relationship between endothelial function, along with components of metabolic syndrome, and asymptomatic structural heart dysfunction in formerly preeclamptic women and healthy parous controls.
