Why the study?
Does normal pregnancy alter endothelial function as measured by flow-mediated dilatation?
Does normal pregnancy alter endothelial function as measured by flow-mediated dilatation?
Normal pregnancy is associated with enhanced endothelial function from at least 10 weeks' gestation, which normalizes after 30 weeks.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May reflect physiological endothelial adaptation in mid-pregnancy; leaves open effects on outcomes and need for longitudinal confirmation.
Savvidou et al. (2000) studied this question.
