Patients with PIH had significantly higher LVMI (106 +/- 29.4 v 90.6 +/- 19.8 g/m2; P < .05) and RWT (0.41 +/- 0.07 v 0.38 +/- 0.05; P < .05) compared to normal pregnant women.

Why the study?

Does pregnancy-induced hypertension alter left ventricular geometry compared to normal pregnancy?

Population

112 women, including 55 with pregnancy-induced hypertension and 57 normal pregnant women.

Comparison

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) vs Normal pregnancy (NPW)

Design

Cross-sectional

Follow-up

2 to 4 days postpartum

Authors

MBManuel Vázquez Blanco OGOscar Grosso CBC BELLIDO

Discussion

Member takes

Overview

PIH associated with increased LVMI and RWT; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective studies before any clinical implications.

Structured PICO

Does pregnancy-induced hypertension alter left ventricular geometry compared to normal pregnancy?

Population

112 women, including 55 with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH, defined as blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg in the third trimester without a history of hypertension, aged 28.5 +/- 7.5 years) and 57 normal pregnant women (NPW, aged 30.7 +/- 7.5 years).

Intervention

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)

Comparator

Normal pregnancy (NPW)

Outcome

Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (RWT) measured by echocardiography 2 to 4 days postpartumsurrogate

Pregnancy-induced hypertension is associated with increased left ventricular mass index and relative wall thickness, frequently leading to eccentric hypertrophy and concentric remodeling.
