Endothelial Dysfunction for Prognosis In Patients With preeClampSia

"Hyperspectral imaging will be performed at study inclusion and will be repeated longitudinally every 1-2 days until delivery and on the first and second day after delivery. After a baseline measurement, a blood pressure cuff is inflated on the upper arm to 50 mmHg above the systolic blood pressure for 5 minutes, and then the hyperspectral imaging measurement is repeated.~Blood samples are collected at study inclusion and on the first and second day after delivery and are processed within the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Heidelberg University Hospital."

"At study inclusion: 1. blood samples will be collected for the measurement of EASIX and cardiac/endothelial markers; 2. sublingual in vivo microscopy will be performed (requires about 20 minutes and can be compared to a sublingual temperature measurement); 3. Doppler ultrasound will be performed to evaluate uterine and ophthalmic arteries.~Blood samples will also be collected at the first and second day after delivery."
