Hemodynamic profile of severe pregnancy-induced XXXX .

@entity1 @entity3036 @entity101 @entity1002
Cases of severe pregnancy-induced @entity101 or @entity3036 were studied in forty-five @entity1 by catheterization of the right side of the heart to define the presenting hemodynamic profile associated with this disorder. These @entity1 could not be easily categorized into one specific hemodynamic pattern. Most @entity1 had high-normal to elevated systemic vascular resistance indices (mean 2726 +/- 120 dynes.sec.cm-5.m2). The mean cardiac index was 4.14 +/- 0.13 L.min-1.m2. The severity of @entity101 was largely attributable to a disproportionate rise in the systolic component (mean 193 +/- 3 mm Hg) compared with diastolic blood pressure (mean 110 +/- 3 mm Hg). @entity1 with @entity3036 had significantly lower arterial blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance indices when compared with those of the rest of the study group. Analysis of Starling curves indicated that all @entity1 had normal or @entity1002 . A modest correlation was observed between central venous pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (r = 0.59). This disparity most likely results from the maintenance of normal to high cardiac output in the presence of an increased left ventricular afterload. The majority of @entity1 with severe pregnancy-induced @entity101 do have normal to high cardiac indices and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures accompanied by normal or @entity1002 . This is true despite the presence of severe @entity101 .
