Official Title: Balance of Angiotensin II Receptors in Vessel Function After Preeclampsia
Brief Summary:
Otherwise healthy women who develop preeclampsia during pregnancy are more likely to develop and die of cardiovascular disease later in life.The reason why this occurs is unclear but may be related to impaired endothelial function and dysregulation of the angiotensin system that occurs during preeclampsia and persists postpartum, despite the remission of clinical symptoms.The purpose of this investigation is to determine the mechanisms contributing to this lasting blood vessel damage caused by reduced endothelial…
