Heart medication study for women after preeclampsia
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if a medication called a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) can help improve heart function in women who had preeclampsia and now have high blood pressure and signs of heart thickening.

This study looks at how mineralocorticoid-related hormone signaling affects small heart blood vessels and how efficiently the heart works in people with high blood pressure. It may help doctors understand which treatments could improve heart function in hypertension.
This trial tests whether the blood pressure medicine enalapril can help protect the hearts of people who had preeclampsia (a pregnancy-related high blood pressure condition) after they give birth. It is for those already in a hospital hypertension monitoring program.
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 trial studies whether a medicine that blocks aldosterone (called an MRA) can improve cardiovascular outcomes in people with high aldosterone levels and high blood pressure. You may be asked to take the study medicine and have blood pressure, heart, and lab tests monitored over time.
This study tests two different drug combinations to see which works better for new mothers with postpartum high blood pressure that needs more than one medication.
This study tests whether the medication spironolactone can help manage high blood pressure after delivery in people who had gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. It may help prevent long-term heart problems.
