Heart and lung changes in pregnancy could reveal hidden clues to preeclampsia
NCT ID NCT07695909
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tracks how a pregnant person's heart and lungs change over the course of pregnancy and after childbirth. Researchers will use non-invasive tests to measure blood flow and airway function, aiming to understand how these changes relate to the development of preeclampsia, a serious condition involving high blood pressure. The study includes pregnant individuals aged 18–50 who plan to deliver within the Mount Sinai Health System.
