Objective The Italian Association of Preeclampsia (AIPE) and the Society Perinatal Medicine (SIMP) developed clinical questions on maternal hemodynamics state art. Study Design AIPE SIMP experts were divided in small groups invited to propose an overview existing literature specific topics related proposed, developing, wherever possible, and/or research recommendations based available evidence, expert opinion, importance. Draft with a rationale submitted 8th Consensus Expert Panel for...
To investigate pregnancy outcomes in women with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) the Italian prospective cohort study P-RHEUM.it.
ABSTRACT Objectives Pre‐eclampsia (PE) is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk later in life. The persistence of endothelial dysfunction after delivery may represent the link between PE and disease. We aimed to evaluate function arterial stiffness pregnancy complicated by early‐onset (EO) or late‐onset (LO) their correlation gestational age mean uterine artery pulsatility index at diagnosis birth‐weight percentile. Methods study included 30 women previous EO‐PE, LO‐PE controls no...
To investigate cardiovascular (CV) performance status several years after early-onset (EO) or late-onset (LO) pre-eclampsia (PE), using echocardiography to assess myocardial strain and left ventricular (LV) torsional mechanics ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC).Thirty non-pregnant women with a previous singleton pregnancy complicated by EO-PE, 30 who had experienced LO-PE controls underwent two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking between 6 months 4 delivery their findings were compared. All...
To study placental patterns in pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia (PE) and to verify whether the findings are related gestational age (GA) at PE onset second-trimester uterine artery (UtA) Doppler.For all pre-eclamptic women who delivered between January 2010 December 2013, we collected retrospectively data UtA Doppler velocimetry performed onset. The cohort was divided into groups according early-onset (EO) or late-onset (LO) PE. Regression analysis test ability of predict subsequent...
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the role low molecular weight heparin in prevention preeclampsia and/or fetal growth restriction pregnant women with chronic hypertension. Methods: Women diagnosed hypertension were retrospectively selected from our electronic database January 2019 2024. primary endpoint occurrence adverse pregnancy outcomes described as onset restriction. Results: A total 219 included. BMI before 27.8 ± 6.4 kg/m 2 and age 36.1 5.4 years. Preeclampsia...
To evaluate the elastic properties of ascending aorta in women with a previous pregnancy complicated by early-onset (EO) or late-onset (LO) pre-eclampsia (PE) and correlation gestational age (GA), systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) mean uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) at diagnosis disease as well birth weight neonate.Thirty who had EO-PE, 30 LO-PE normal controls were selected retrospectively from our electronic database then recalled for assessment 6 months to 4 years...
Objective: To describe morbidity in neonates born by cesarean section (CS) before labor between 34+0 and 38+6 weeks, stratified gestational age.Methods: Cohort study from five Italian tertiary care hospitals. Consecutive singleton pregnancies delivered CS weeks of gestation January 2010 to August 2011 were included. Women labor, with premature rupture membranes, or previous administration steroids excluded. The incidence neonatal complication week was calculated.Results: A total 1135 cases...
To evaluate maternal hemodynamics in asymptomatic women with a previous pregnancy affected by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome compare the findings to those of pre-eclampsia (PE) controls uncomplicated pregnancy.Women history PE (n = 60) or HELLP 49) matched healthy underwent echocardiography at 6 months 4 years after delivery, recording left ventricular (LV) dimensions, ejection fraction (LVEF) mass, right (RV) tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion...
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The objective of this study was to longitudinally evaluate maternal echocardiographic findings in uncomplicated twin gestations according chorionicity. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Healthy women with pregnancy were assessed transthoracic echocardiography across the first, second, and third trimesters. Cardiac compared within each group between monochorionic (MC) dichorionic (DC) pregnancies....
ABSTRACT Objectives To assess endothelial function and arterial stiffness in women with a previous pregnancy complicated by pre‐eclampsia (PE) hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome, to compare these findings those PE but no HELLP controls uncomplicated pregnancy, order investigate the influence of syndrome on subsequent cardiovascular impairment. Methods In this prospective single‐center case–control study, we performed peripheral tonometry (PAT) (using...
Objective: Pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction (FGR) relates to increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life, but different extents. Subclinical cardiac alterations precede eminent disease. Speckle-tracking echocardiography is an elegant method assess subclinical myocardial dysfunction. We performed a speckle tracking study evaluate the prevalence dysfunction former patients (with without FGR) compared with normotensive women FGR. Methods: For this...
Myocardial fibrosis is associated with adverse clinical outcome in adults. Our aim was to investigate using echocardiographic calibrated integrated backscatter (cIBS) the presence of myocardial and/or aortic asymptomatic women a history early-onset (EO) or late-onset (LO) pre-eclampsia (PE).Thirty non-pregnant whose most recent pregnancy complicated by EO-PE, 30 previous LO-PE and controls who had experienced only uncomplicated previously were selected retrospectively from our electronic...
Objective: To compare the elastic properties of ascending aorta and ventricular–arterial coupling (VAC) in women with a previous pregnancy complicated by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome, who experienced preeclampsia, healthy controls. Methods: Women history preeclampsia (n = 60) or HELLP syndrome 49) matched controls underwent transthoracic echocardiography at 6 months to 4 years after delivery. Aortic M-mode tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) parameters were...
Severe ulcerative colitis complicated by toxic megacolon is widely considered to be an indication for emergency surgery.We reported a case of acute in healthy pregnant woman conservatively treated intensive monitoring combined with medical therapy and endoscopic decompression order prevent the mother from having undergo pancolectomy neonate suffering adverse perinatal outcome.
Longitudinal studies of maternal hemodynamics in twin pregnancy are scarce and preload reserve pregnancies has not been studied. Thus, we aimed to investigate serial changes systemic from the first third trimester, cardiovascular response passive leg raising evaluate using impedance cardiography a cohort uncomplicated pregnancies.This was prospective longitudinal study 50 pregnancies. Maternal assessed at baseline 120 seconds after cardiography, five time points during gestation. Women were...
Doppler velocimetry is a non-invasive method to monitor pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia. We aimed assess the predictive value of adverse perinatal or maternal outcome three ratios, i.e. middle cerebral umbilical arteries pulsatility indices (PI), uterine PI and PI, compared with that in pre-eclamptic patients. This cohort study on 168 singleton between January 2010 June 2013. was performed at diagnosis Logistic regression analysis receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curves were...
