Reappearance of end-diastolic velocity in a pregnancy complicated by severe pregnancy-induced hypertension.
A case is reported in which previously absent end-diastolic velocities in the umbilical artery reappeared after treatment in a pregnancy complicated by hypertension. This observation is not consistent with the suggestion that abnormal waveforms are associated with obliteration of the tertiary stem villus arterioles.
