Longitudinal hemodynamics in acute phase of treatment with labetalol in hypertensive pregnant women to predict need for vasodilatory therapy
ConclusionMaternal demographics and hemodynamic changes in the acute phase of labetalol monotherapy provide a powerful tool to identify hypertensive pregnant patients who are unlikely to have their BP controlled by this therapy and will consequently need additional vasodilatory therapy.

Maternal cardiac function at 35 –37 weeks' gestation: prediction of pre‐eclampsia and gestational hypertension
ConclusionsIn women developing term PE total peripheral resistance and MAP are increased and maternal cardiac output is reduced. However, assessment of maternal cardiac function at 35–37 weeks' gestation is unlikely to improve the performance of screening for PE provided by maternal factors and MAP alone.

Predictors of Restenosis Following Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting
Restenosis after carotid angioplasty is associated with ipsilateral stroke occurrence. Hypertension, angioplasty without stent, and impaired vasoreactivity identify patients at high risk of restenosis and potentially could help select patients for follow-up ultrasound imaging.

Maternal Hemodynamics in Normal Pregnancies: Reference ranges and the Role of Maternal Characteristics
ConclusionMaternal hemodynamics are significantly influenced by maternal age, height and weight. We provide USCOM‐1A®‐specific reference ranges and calculator for SV, CO and SVR in uncomplicated pregnancies that correct for maternal age, height and weight. This will enable clinical application and comparison in both uncomplicated and pathological pregnancies.

Longitudinal maternal hemodynamics in pregnancies affected by fetal growth restriction
ConclusionSerial assessment of maternal hemodynamics in high‐risk women identifies distinctive trends associated with pregnancies destined to deliver babies with birth weights < 10th and < 5th percentiles. These pregnancies have a suppressed and static maternal cardiac output and stroke volume, and have consistently raised peripheral vascular resistance. This suggests that, in women with chronic hypertension or a history of hypertensive disorder in a previous pregnancy, FGR is associated with a primary and persistent failure of maternal cardiovascular adaptation in pregnancy.

Angiogenic Markers and Cardiovascular Indices in the Prediction of Hypertensive Disorders of PregnancyNovelty and Significance Preeclampsia
We examined a cohort of 110 pregnant women with uneventful pregnancy outcome (controls) and 129 with hypertensive pregnancy disorders, including 77 with preeclampsia and 52 with pregnancy-induced hypertension. Cardiac indices were obtained with a USCOM-1A monitor, and soluble fms-like tyrosin kinase 1, placental growth factor, and NT-proBNP were measured in serum samples on automated platforms. Logistic regression, as well as Cox proportional hazard analysis, was performed. There were significant contributions from all variables tested, except for heart rate, stroke volume index, and cardiac index to the prediction model. ...

Cardiovascular Events after Exposure to Nilotinib in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Long Term Follow up
Conclusion The incidence of CVEs and frequency of asymptomatic PAD in this population was low and CVEs were associated with cardiovascular risk factors. Aggressive risk factor modification and applying standard definitions for measuring cardiovascular outcomes, might have contributed to the result. Further prospective and adequately powered studies are needed to explore the effect of cardiovascular risk profile on CVEs in CML patients on Nilotinib. Teaser This study evaluated the incidence of cardiovascular events (CVEs) in 63 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients after long term exposure to Nilotinib. By considering the...

Headache and pregnancy: a systematic review
AbstractThis systematic review summarizes the existing data on headache and pregnancy with a scope on clinical headache phenotypes, treatment of headaches in pregnancy and effects of headache medications on the child during pregnancy and breastfeeding, headache related complications, and diagnostics of headache in pregnancy. Headache during pregnancy can be both primary and secondary, and in the last case can be a symptom of a life-threatening condition. The most common secondary headaches are stroke, cerebral venous thrombosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, pituitary tumor, choriocarcinoma, eclampsia, preeclampsia, idiopathic ...

Atherosclerosis in systemic lupus erythematosus
Publication date: Available online 16 October 2017 Source:Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology Author(s): Sara Croca, Anisur Rahman Cardiovascular disease (CVD), comprising coronary heart disease and stroke, is one of the most important causes of death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The risks of developing both clinical CVD and sub-clinical atherosclerosis are increased in patients with SLE. This increase is not fully explained by traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, hypertension and elevated cholesterol, and it is believed that immune dysfunction also contribute...

Doctors develop new way to use MRI to predict pregnancy complications
FINDINGSUCLA scientists have developed anew way to use magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, to scan the placenta. The noninvasive approach offers valuable insights into how the mother ’s blood enters the placenta and sustains the fetus with oxygen and nutrients during early pregnancy. The technique breaks new ground because most previous studies on this subject occurred in the laboratory after childbirth.BACKGROUNDThe placenta is a temporary organ that joins a pregnant woman to her baby through the umbilical cord. Few methods exist for safely and accurately studying the placenta in early pregnancy. Ultrasound indirectly m...

Cerebrovascular Reactivity and Vascular Activation in Postmenopausal Women With Histories of PreeclampsiaNovelty and Significance Preeclampsia
This study examined an association between pregnancy history and CVR using a subgroup of 40 age- and parity-matched pairs of women having histories of preeclampsia (n=27) or normotensive pregnancy (n=29) and the association of activated blood elements with CVR. Middle cerebral artery velocity was measured by Doppler ultrasound before and during hypercapnia to assess CVR. Thirty-eight parameters of blood cellular elements, microvesicles, and cell–cell interactions measured in venous blood were assessed for association with CVR using principal component analysis. Middle cerebral artery velocity was lower in the preeclampsi...
