Predict preeclampsia using blood vessel stiffness in pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks for ways to predict preeclampsia (a pregnancy complication that can raise blood pressure and harm organs) early by measuring how stiff certain blood vessels are. If you’re considered higher risk, this could help identify problems sooner so your care team can watch you more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with only one baby
- You have at least one high-risk factor or two moderate-risk factors for preeclampsia
- You are not beyond 14 weeks pregnant
- You have no past history of heart disease, stroke, or blocked blood vessels in the legs
- You do not have certain infections like HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or COVID-19

This study measures blood vessel–related markers in pregnant people who already have high blood pressure or early preeclampsia. The goal is to predict who is more likely to get worse, so care can be better targeted.
This study looks at blood-flow and artery health signs during pregnancy to better understand why preeclampsia happens. It compares women with preeclampsia to women with an uncomplicated pregnancy, and may help improve early detection and care.
This study looks at how the placenta and blood vessels work in pregnancy, especially in preeclampsia and babies with growth restriction (IUGR). It may help researchers build a blood sample collection and learn what could predict or explain these complications.
This study looks at factors related to pre-eclampsia (a pregnancy blood-pressure condition) in people who are more than 10 weeks pregnant. It may help improve early understanding and care for future pregnancies.
This study looks at how stiff your arteries are by measuring pulse wave velocity. It may help doctors better understand your blood pressure and risks. You'll wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours and have a few additional measurements taken.
This study is testing a new blood test that might help doctors quickly and safely identify preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy condition. If you're at risk, this test could help you get the right care earlier.
