Overview

PIH may impair early postpartum LV diastolic function; leaves open whether IRT or combined index warrant routine screening or predict outcomes.

Structured PICO

Does pregnancy induced hypertension impair left ventricular function in women shortly after delivery?

P
Population
48 women studied 2 to 4 days after delivery, comprising 28 with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and 20 age-matched normal pregnant controls.
I
Intervention
Pregnancy induced hypertension (exposure)
C
Comparator
Age-matched normal pregnant women
O
Outcome
Left ventricular function impairment assessed by echo-Doppler (including LVDD, FS, Ev, Av, E/A ratio, IRT, ICT, ET, and combined index of systo-diastolic performance)surrogate

Pregnancy-induced hypertension is associated with transient left ventricular diastolic dysfunction detectable by echo-Doppler shortly after delivery.
