Preeclampsia and baby heart defects: mother's heart study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the link between preeclampsia (a pregnancy complication with high blood pressure) and a mother's heart health when her baby has a heart problem. The goal is to understand how the mother's heart adapts during pregnancy in these cases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows women with congenital heart disease during a single, healthy pregnancy. It aims to track how pregnancy affects the heart and overall health in this group.
This study looks at how high blood pressure during pregnancy affects the heart health of both mother and baby. It aims to understand these effects better to improve care.
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 study uses non-invasive devices to monitor the hearts of pregnant women and their babies. It compares women with and without heart conditions, and babies with normal hearts or heart concerns, to see if early warning signs of cardiac problems can be detected.
This study looks at people with preeclampsia during pregnancy and how their lung blood pressure and related symptoms change after delivery. It may help doctors better monitor and manage postpartum risks, especially involving the heart and lungs.
