Why the study?
Is increased gestational age associated with improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation responses in healthy pregnant women?
Is increased gestational age associated with improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation responses in healthy pregnant women?
In healthy pregnant women, endothelial function improves with advancing gestational age despite the development of pregnancy-related hyperlipidemia.
May indicate progressive endothelial adaptation despite hyperlipidemia; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
In healthy pregnant women increased gestational age is associated with improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation responses regardless of concurrently appearing lipid changes.
