Summary

This study will evaluate the differences in cardiovascular parameters between women with severe preterm preeclampsia and those without preeclampsia using echocardiography and maternal blood. The investigators will also look at associations of abnormal cardiovascular findings and immediate complications among a high risk cohort of pregnant African American women.

Detailed description

This will be a prospective cohort study. Exposed cases will be admitted to the inpatient obstetrical unit (labor \& delivery or antepartum unit) at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with concern for severe preterm preeclampsia. Unexposed controls will be matched by gestational age and other clinical factors and will be obtained from the outpatient setting (Helen O Dickens clinic or Penn ObGyn Associates at 3701 Market Street). The investigators will compare cardiovascular risk factors between these two groups.
