Heart scans reveal hidden dangers of untreated preeclampsia
NCT ID NCT06099275
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study aims to measure how well the heart pumps blood in people with untreated preeclampsia compared to healthy pregnant women. Researchers will use a non-invasive ultrasound (echocardiography) to check heart function at rest, after blood pressure medication, and during delivery and recovery. The study plans to enroll 80 participants but is currently suspended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors better understand how preeclampsia affects the heart, potentially leading to improved monitoring or treatment approaches.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly change patient care. The study is currently suspended, and results may not apply to all patients with preeclampsia.
