title: [The Course of Pregnancy in Women With Arterial Hypertension].
abstract: We included in this study 69 women with hypertension in the II trimester of pregnancy, of whom 52 (75%) had normal weight gain during the period of gestation, and 17 (25%) had abnormal weight gain. Comprehensive clinical and instrumental examination included calculation of body mass index before and during gestation, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring, assessment of activity of sympathetic-adrenal system by quantification of -adrenoreception of erythrocytes cell membranes. Women with excessive weight gain during gestation were older, more often had increased body weight before pregnancy. They also more often had insufficient nocturnal BP lowering, hypersympathicotonia, premature labor, pre-eclampsia, and lower anthropometric parameters of newborns.
