Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Postpartum Pulmonary Artery Pressure
Sponsor: Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern
Summary
The primary goal of this observational study is to learn about postpartum pulmonary artery pressure in women who suffered from Preeclampsia and Antiphospholipid Syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is whether the conjunction of preeclampsia with obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome significantly foster the development of long-lasting pulmonary hypertension. Only participants who suffered from preeclampsia during pregnancy will be followed for a period up to 3 years postpartum. Researchers will compare women with or without obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome.
Official title: Association Between Preeclampsia, Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Postpartum Pulmonary Artery Pressure, Systemic Arterial Pressure and Cardiovascular Function.
