Myocardial performance index in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: The relationship between blood pressures and angiogenic factors.

CONCLUSION: Mean arterial pressure correlates with worsening cardiac function as measured by MPI and serum levels of angiogenic factors. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether a reduction in blood pressure will reverse changes in MPI or reduce levels of angiogenic proteins seen among women with HDP.
