Change in pulse wave velocity throughout normal pregnancy and its value in predicted pregnancy-induced hypertension: A longitudinal study

Article Abstract:

The changes of brachial to ankle distensibility are examined by using pulse wave velocity (PWV) throughout pregnancy and its difference between normal pregnancy and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) groups. The results have shown that the predictive value of PWV and blood pressure for PIH is higher than that of blood pressure alone, indicating the usefulness of measuring PWV to predict PIH.

The relationship between pregnancy weight gain and glucose tolerance status among black and white women in central North Carolina

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine weight and its relationship to glucose tolerance during pregnancy. It is found that prepregnancy was weight was strongly associated with gestational diabetes mellitus, whereas weight gain during pregnancy was associated with impaired glucose tolerance only among overweight women.
