Mid-gestation cardiovascular phenotype in women who develop gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: comparative study

CONCLUSION: At mid-gestation, women who subsequently develop HDP or GDM have mild subclinical reduction in left ventricular function. In the HDP group, with or without GDM, there is evidence of impaired placentation and all biomarkers of impedance to peripheral blood flow are consistently increased. In contrast, in the GDM group without HDP, indicators of placental function are normal and those of impedance to peripheral blood flow are either marginally increased or not significantly different from normal.
