Pregnancy results in dramatic physiologic changes over a short
period of time particularly related to the cardiovascular system.
Endothelial dysfunction is a key feature of the obstetric
complication of preeclampsia. Women who conceive with assisted
reproduction technology are at higher risk of preeclampsia but the
mechanisms for this risk are not fully understood. Drs.
Winn and von Versen-Hoynck will share results from their
Pregnancy Outcomes Following Infertility Endothelial Health
(POFI-ECH) study which is exploring this question.
