PIH was associated with significantly increased LVMI (113.1±20.3 vs 85.9±14.5 g/m2, p<0.0001) and worse myocardial performance (Tei index 0.51±0.09 vs 0.31±0.06, p<0.0001) compared to normal pregnancy.

Why the study?

Does pregnancy-induced hypertension alter left ventricular geometric pattern and function compared to normal pregnancy?

Population

40 women in the third trimester of pregnancy, comprising 20 with pregnancy-induced hypertension and 20…

Comparison

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (exposure) vs Normal pregnant women (NPW)

Design

Case-control

Authors

Discussion

Overview

May prompt closer echocardiographic surveillance in PIH; leaves open long-term cardiac outcomes and causality.

Structured PICO

Does pregnancy-induced hypertension alter left ventricular geometric pattern and function compared to normal pregnancy?

Population

40 women in the third trimester of pregnancy, comprising 20 with pregnancy-induced hypertension (BP >140/90 mmHg, no prior history of hypertension, mean age 30.3) and 20 normal pregnant women (mean age 30.9).

Intervention

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (exposure)

Comparator

Normal pregnant women (NPW)

Outcome

Left ventricular geometric pattern and function assessed by echocardiography (including IVST, PWT, LVMI, RWT, E/A ratio, IRT, and Tei index)surrogate

Pregnancy-induced hypertension is associated with increased left ventricular mass, eccentric hypertrophy, and primarily diastolic left ventricular dysfunction.
