Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Investigation of cardiovascular risk 5-15 years after early or late-onset preeclampsia by adenosine stress Magnetic Resonance Imaging and non-invasive methods like retinal vessel analysis, skin measurement of advanced glycation end products, flow-mediated dilation or pulse wave analysis in comparison to women after healthy pregnancies.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Early-onset preeclampsia

    Defined as preeclampsia that develops before 34 weeks of gestation

    Defined as preeclampsia that develops after 34 weeks of gestation

    Control

    Healthy pregnancies, matched to early and late-onset cases
