Third-Trimester Cardiovascular Function and Risk of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Whether cardiovascular dysfunction is associated with preeclampsia in women without fetal growth restriction (FGR) is unclear. Our objective was to investigate associations between third-trimester cardiac output (CO) and systemic vascular resistance and risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in women with and without FGR.

Methods and results

A case-cohort study in 906 pregnant women in Denmark with repeated third-trimester cardiac function assessments was performed using the Ultrasound Cardiac Output Monitor 1A. Using Cox regression, we compared rates of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in women with low, normal, and high CO and normal and high systemic vascular resistance, by FGR status and gestational age, and evaluated associations between a third-trime
