  Author(s): Manal Yahya I. AL-Muhana* and Amina A B AL Dujeli
  
  Background: Numerous studies have shown that a considerable percentage of women with Preeclampsia (PE) or Gestational Hypertension (GH) have cardiovascular maladaptation. One of the main factors contributing to maternal cardiovascular death and morbidity is preeclampsia. Increases in Peripheral Vascular Resistance (PVR) and Left Ventricular mass (LV mass) can be indicators of poor outcomes for both the mother and the fetus. Echocardiography can identify diastolic dysfunction in preeclamptic women, allowing for early intervention. Aim: The study's objective is to assess some aspects of the left ventricle's systolic and diastolic performance in preeclamptic pregnant women and contrast them with those of normotensive pregnancies. Methods: case-control study was conducted at AL-Hussain Medical City between Janu.. Read More»
