Why the study?
It was unknown whether pre-eclampsia-related placental or extraplacental membrane findings are linked to moderately elevated blood pressure in pregnancy and later-life hypertension.
Do pre-eclampsia-related placental findings predict later-life Stage 2 hypertension in women with moderately elevated blood pressure during pregnancy?
Do pre-eclampsia-related placental findings predict later-life Stage 2 hypertension in women with moderately elevated blood pressure during pregnancy?
Pre-eclampsia-related placental findings, such as mural hyperplasia, can help risk-stratify women with moderately elevated blood pressure during pregnancy for the development of hypertension 7-15 years later.
