Postpartum microvascular functional alterations following severe preeclampsia.

In conclusion, severe preeclampsia is associated with heighticrovascular endothelium-dependent and -independent vasoreactivity. These changes, or a common antecedent, may be linked to postpartum alterations in vascular function that predispose women to disease after preeclampsia. Further investigation should identify the contributing mechanism and the degree to which it could be amenable to medical intervention. PMID: 33481699 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
