Women with Loeys-Dietz syndrome warrant special consideration in obstetric management secondary to the risk for aortic dissection. It is recommended that a multidisciplinary team with knowledge about connective tissue disorders and expertise in aortic surgery coordinate maternal obstetric and cardiovascular care.
OBJECTIVE: Preeclampsia (PreE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy afflicting 5-10% of US pregnancies. Recent reports suggest 20hydroxyeicosatetraenoic (20-HETE) may play a role in hypertension in response to placental ischemia. We hypothesized that administration of a 20-HETE synthesis inhibitor, HET0016, would improve the pathophysiology associated with PreE in the RUPP rat model of placental ischemia.Poster Session III ajog.org
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
