Exercise study for women at risk of pregnancy heart problems
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how physical activity affects the heart and blood-vessel health “profile” in women who have risk factors for a pregnancy condition (called GHD, related to preeclampsia risk). It may help researchers find safer or more helpful activity guidance before pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman (18 or older) who is not pregnant right now
- A pregnancy test (urine dipstick) must be negative at enrollment

This trial tests a rehabilitation program for people who had high blood pressure during pregnancy (gestational hypertension or preeclampsia). It aims to help with recovery after childbirth through online exercise sessions.
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels work after a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia. It uses exercise testing to see if there are lasting effects, which may help improve long-term heart health monitoring and care.
This study looks at how the heart adapts during pregnancy and the months after giving birth. It uses simple tests to measure heart rate and blood flow, which may help doctors better understand normal changes and identify risks early.
This study follows pregnant women with heart conditions to understand how pregnancy affects their heart health and their baby's health. You may join if you have one or more heart conditions, such as a heart defect, a heart infection, an irregular heartbeat, or a blood vessel problem.
This study looks for proteins in the blood that may show early signs of heart stress in pregnant women with preeclampsia, before symptoms appear. It also uses heart ultrasound to see how the heart changes during pregnancy, which could help find women at risk earlier.
This trial tests if applying heat to the legs can improve blood vessel function in pregnant women with overweight or obesity. It may help manage blood pressure and reduce risks of pregnancy complications.
