Implication

MPI correlated with MAP in HDP; leaves open whether cardiac monitoring improves pregnancy outcomes.

Structured PICO

Population

189 pregnant women with and without hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP)

Outcome

Correlation between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac function (myocardial performance index [MPI], global longitudinal strain [GLS]) and angiogenic factors (sFlt1, sEng)surrogate

In pregnant women, higher mean arterial pressure correlates with worsening cardiac function (measured by MPI and GLS) and elevated antiangiogenic proteins.
