Cardiac dysfunction during adverse maternal outcomes in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with significant cardiac remodeling and diastolic dysfunction during pregnancy and are important contributors to maternal morbidity and mortality. Whether acute adverse maternal outcomes during hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with abnormal left ventricular geometry and function has not been widely studied.

Material and methods

A prospective observational study was conducted on 255 women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy who underwent transthoracic echocardiography during the peripartum period. Maternal echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular morphology and function, were analyzed to determine their association with composite adverse maternal outcomes by univariate and m
