Postpartum CVD Risk in Women With Previous Preeclampsia. Clinical Trial
In order to assess circulating biomarkers of cardiovascular risk, we will conduct a 10-year
follow-up study comparing 32 exposed (women with a history of pregnancy complicated by
preeclampsia) and 32 unexposed (women with a history of uncomplicated pregnancy).
Participants will be recruited from a well-characterised cohort, previously assembled during
their pregnancies, at the Department of Obstetrics at Randers Regional Hospital in
2001-2004.
Blood and urine samples, collected during their pregnancies, are stored in a biobank, thus
rendering the possibility of longitudinal assessment.
