Cardiorespiratory fitness in women after severe pre-eclampsia

CONCLUSION: Significantly lower CRF and PA levels were found in patients on long-term follow-up after severe pre-eclampsia. CPET identified cardiovascular limitations in one third of patients. One third appeared unfit, with adiposity and lower PA levels. These findings highlight the need for clinical follow-up and exercise interventions after severe pre-eclampsia.PMID:37559403 | DOI:10.1080/10641955.2023.2245054
