Hemodynamic Profile and Cardiac Morphometry in Normotension and Severe Preeclamptic Pregnant Women

Abstract

Objective: To identify the differences of hemodynamic profile and morphometric changes of maternal heart in normotensive and severe preeclampsia (early-onset and late-onset) pregnant women. Method: Cross-sectional study on consecutively selected 34 pregnant women which divided into three groups: normotensive group (n = 12), early-onset group (n = 11), and the late-onset group (n = 11). Conducted in the ER and inpatient care unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Sriwijaya University / Dr. Moh. Hoesin Hospital Palembang, from April 2015 - June 2015. Results: There are significant differences in CO and SVR among three groups. In early onset groups, CO values ​​are lower (3.4 + 0:27, p 0.05). Conclusions: In severe preeclampsia there are changes in hemodynamic, ventricular morphometry, and left ventricular function. But the changes that occurred seems to be more evident in the early onset preeclampsia group of compared than late-onset preeclampsia. Keywords: Normotensive, early onset PEB, PEB late-onset, hemodynamic profile, cardiac morphometry.
