Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate cardiovascular health, especially endothelial health, of women after pre-eclampsia compared to women without pre-eclampsia, and to compare women who had taken PETN during pregnancy with women who had not attempted treatment


Clinical Trial Description

The clinical observation that women with pre-eclampsia have a high risk of early onset cardiovascular disease with increased disease-associated mortality has led to the hypothesis that the endothelial status of these women is characterized by early onset of aging. We want to investigate the relationship between endothelial aging and pregnancy disorders such as pre-eclampsia, which are dominated by endothelial dysfunction. Do endothelial changes precede pregnancy and cause pre-eclampsia and later accelerated cardiovascular aging, or does pre-eclampsia trigger premature endothelial aging in affected individuals for the first time? The aim of this study is to investigate the cardiovascular health of women 10 to 20 years after pre-eclampsia and to compare it with that of women with uneventful pregnancies. In addition, the potential long-term endothelial protective effect of the NO-donor pentaerithrityltetranitrate (PETN) is investigated. This in vivo study will be extended in vitro by the analysis of senescence induction in endothelial cells after pre-eclampsia associated stress. Additionally, the potential protective effect of PETN on stress-induced senescence will be evaluated. The ultimate goal is to establish a prospective long-term study on the effect of PETN on vascular health in women with pre-eclampsia to assess whether treatment of endothelial dysfunction during pregnancy could reduce endothelial aging and thus premature cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in millions of women. ;
