Uteroplacental blood flow in pregnant women with hypertension and recurrent spontaneous abortion.
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.
