title: [Prognostic Value of Central Aortic Pressure in Pregnant Women With Hypertension].
abstract: Prognostic value of central aortic pressure and peripheral blood pressure in relation to the development of pre-eclampsia was assessed in pregnant women with different forms of hypertension. It was shown that development of pre-eclampsia was associated with higher mean 24-hour systolic blood pressure (BP), time index of systolic BP, variability of diastolic BP, and pulse BP measured on weeks 16-22 of gestation. Pregnant women with hypertension, especially those with pre-eclampsia were characterized by absence of proper nocturnal BP lowering or BP elevation during night hours (non-dippers and night-peakers). Critical values for prediction of preeclampsia were daily average central (aortic) systolic BP higher than 115 mm Hg and a mean daily brachial systolic BP above 131 mm Hg.
