One year post partum, women with a history of preeclampsia have significantly higher blood pressure and fasting insulin and blood glucose levels than healthy controls who had a normal pregnancy.

She presented a 1-year follow-up on 18 women who had moderate to severe preeclampsia in their first pregnancy and 17 age-matched controls with an uncomplicated pregnancy.
Brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation as assessed by ultrasound--a standard noninvasive tool for the identification of endothelial dysfunction--was 2.5% in women with a history of preeclampsia, compared with 10.3% in controls. Flow-mediated dilation measured 1 year post ...
