Clinical Trial Summary

A history of preeclampsia is associated with a low plasma volume and higher sympathetic activity. Methyldopa will suppress sympathetic activity to normal values. In this study, the researchers will test that effect on the total cardiovascular balance.

Description:

This is a randomized double-blind placebo controlled cross-over study in formerly preeclamptic women with a contracted plasma volume. The researchers will test the effect of methyldopa on the cardiovascular balance and orthostatic tolerance in women with a history of preeclampsia and healthy controls.
