NCT ID NCT05534932
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether remote monitoring and guideline-directed therapy can prevent heart dysfunction in African American women who had preeclampsia. Twenty participants will use a tablet, blood pressure cuff, and scale at home for three months after delivery. The goal is to see if this approach improves heart strain measurements compared to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Remote patient monitoring (blood pressure cuff, scale, tablet)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple way to prevent lasting heart damage after preeclampsia in a high-risk group.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is monitoring, not a new drug, so the impact may be modest.
