Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Pregnant with Pre-eclampsia
There will be an initial 'Pregnancy' visit within 7-10 days of the screening visit, when the subject will undergo an echocardiogram, have the vascular compliance measurements and will have blood drawn for measurement of serum biomarkers.
The second study visit will be the '6-8 weeks post-partum' visit when the echocardiogram and vascular compliance will be re-measured, along with assessment of vitals and medication history.
The third study visit will be 6-7 months post partum where there is a collection of a clinical questionnaire, demographics, vitals, chart review, echocardiogram and vascular compliance will be re-measured.

Active Comparator: Pregnant without Hypertension - Control
There will be an initial 'Pregnancy' visit within 7-10 days of the screening visit, when the subject will undergo an echocardiogram, have the vascular compliance measurements and will have blood drawn for measurement of serum biomarkers.
The second study visit will be the '6-8 weeks post-partum' visit when the echocardiogram and vascular compliance will be re-measured, along with assessment of vitals and medication history.
The third study visit is not applicable to the control group.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Systolic Function measured as Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Measurement: LVEF is expressed as a % and Global longitudinal strain measurement also expressed as %. Measurements tools: two dimensional echocardiography and strain imaging with speckle tracking echocardiography |
6 months
|
Change in Diastolic function
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Measurement: E/E' velocity; This is a ratio and there is no unit for measurement. Measurement tools: Pulse Doppler echocardiography |
6 months
|
Change in vascular compliance
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Measurement: Pulse strain elasticity (Ep) expressed as kPa, Arterial stiffness Beta which is an index without units. Measurement tool: Arterial waveforms captured with the ARTSENS device |
6 months
|
Change in vascular stiffness
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Measurement: Beta which is an index without units Measurement tool: Arterial waveforms captured with the ARTSENS device |
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Correlation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with troponin and proBNP
Time Frame: 3 months
|
Cardiac measurements: LVEF is in %, Troponin is ng/ml, proBNP is pmol/L Measurement tool: LVEF is measured with 2D echocardiography, proBNP and Troponin is measured by blood sample assessing biomarker alterations that could predict cardiovascular damage. |
3 months
|
Correlation of vascular compliance and stiffness
Time Frame: 3 months
|
Measurement: Pulse strain elasticity (Ep) expressed as kPa, Arterial stiffness Beta which is an index without units, E/E' is a ratio Measurement tool: Arterial waveforms captured with the ARTSENS device and Doppler Echo. |
