Cardiovascular changes in pre-eclampsia.

Abstract

Pre-eclampsia is associated with a hyperdynamic circulation (increased cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance) and increased mean arterial blood pressure, and a diminished plasma volume. Expansion of plasma volume without simultaneous measures on circulation or proper monitoring may be detrimental, leading to pulmonary and brain edema.

Delayed recovery of postexercise blood pressure in patients with chronic heart failure.

Thirty-four patients with idiopathic dilated and ischemic cardiomyopathy underwent a symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing to evaluate the significance of postexercise blood pressure (BP) response. The postexercise BP response was useful in assessing the impaired exercise capacity and increased sympathetic activity in patients with heart failure.
