Early and late preeclampsia are characterized by high cardiac output, but in the presence of fetal growth restriction, cardiac output is low: insights from a prospective study

摘要

BACKGROUND: Preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction are considered to be placentally mediated disorders. The clinical manifestations are widely held to relate to gestation age at onset with early-and late-onset preeclampsia considered to be phenotypically distinct. Recent studies have reported conflicting findings in relation to cardiovascular function, and in particular cardiac output, in preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction.
