“…Thirty‐two studies in total reported on C‐reactive protein levels,21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52 of which 17 were applicable for meta‐analysis 21, 22, 23, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 47, 49, 50. A significantly higher C‐reactive protein was found in women with pre‐eclampsia than in non‐hypertensive controls ( Figure 2), and this correlation was stronger in severe than in mild pre‐eclampsia ( Figure 3).…”

“…demonstrated a positive correlation with increased BMI and risk of pre‐eclampsia but not with HELLP syndrome 30 . In a small sample‐size study, no correlation was found between increased serum CRP levels and BMI, but significantly higher levels of CRP have been found in women with pre‐eclampsia compared to normal healthy pregnant women 31 . Moreover, pregnancy itself in the absence of clinical infection contribute to an elevation of hs‐CRP levels 6,18,24,26 .…”

“…Similarly, the presence of CV risk factors during the reproductive years may not have been evaluated in most of these patients, because the impact of such factors on gestation has been evident only recently. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Some reports do not differentiate between types of HPs, 7,11 and others show a greater association between preeclampsia and CV disease. 1,4,5,8,9 Based on these latter studies, our failure to characterize the different forms of HPs could have blunted their impact on coronary disease.…”

“…27 Based on the hypothesis that hypertension in pregnancy expresses underlying maternal conditions, we propose that proteinuric versus nonproteinuric HPs relate to CV complications through 2 different pathophysiologic pathways. In proteinuric HP (ie, preeclampsia), there may be an underlying endothelial dysfunction because of CV risk factors, [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]34,35,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43] which is exacerbated and clinically expressed by increased syncytiotrophoblast debris shedded into the maternal circulation. 44 -50 In nonproteinuric HP (ie, transient hypertension or exacerbation of an underlying hypertension), there is a restricted capacity to stimulate vasodilatory and antiaggregating factors (eg, prostacyclin, 51 tissue kallikrein, 52 and angiotensin- [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] 53 ); this limitation hampers the adaptation to the systemic hemodynamic changes of pregnancy 54 -57 and may favor CV disease later in life.…”
