title: Uteroplacental blood flow in pregnant women with hypertension and recurrent spontaneous abortion.
abstract: Uterine velocimetry was performed in 13 pregnant women with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and in 15 pregnant women with recurrent spontaneous abortion syndrome (RSA-S). Measurement were performed on both uterine arteries and averaged. 75% of PIH group had RI 95th percentile from the first measurement (20 weeks gestation). In the RSA-S group, RI was between 75th and 95th percentile, suggesting an almost pathological vascularization.
