Summary

This study will follow 120 pregnant women with high blood pressure or preeclampsia to see if certain ultrasound scans and blood tests can predict who will develop severe disease. Researchers will measure blood flow in the mother's heart, eyes, and womb, along with lung ultrasound and blood markers. The goal is to find early warning signs of severe preeclampsia, which can harm both mother and baby.

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 could lead to better ways to predict which pregnant women with high blood pressure will develop severe preeclampsia, allowing earlier monitoring and care.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve outcomes, and the findings may not be conclusive or widely applicable.
