Abstract

Objective. Preeclampsia is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this pilot study was to assess whether the presence of thrombophilia results in a greater tendency to develop endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases. Methods. Ten women with thrombophilia were matched with 10 women without thrombophilia for a history of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. Laboratory measurements: blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and micro- and macrovascular function were determined. Results. Women with thrombophilia had significant lower total- and low-density cholesterol, were more insulin sensitive, and had better microvascular function. Conclusion. This study suggests that thrombophilia "mediates" in lowering of cardiovascular risk factors in women with a history of preeclampsia. © 2011 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
