Why is it important?
Our study evaluates the use of LVEF values as a predictor of development of adverse fetomaternal outcomes and the association of changes in cardiovascular function in relation with NT pro BNP levels
Perspectives
Writing this paper has made me realize the impact that hypertensive disorders of pregnancy can have on maternal and fetal outcome. The study has made me realise the need for paying attention to the cardiovascular health so as to prevent development of adverse cardiac outcomes in postpartum period
