Abstract

Preeclampsia is a leading complication of pregnancy that lacks accurate tools for its early prediction. Improved risk stratification tools early in pregnancy would enable more efficient allocation of limited healthcare resources while ensuring that pregnant women destined to develop preeclampsia receive appropriate care. This brief perspective highlights the current state of first-trimester preeclampsia prediction. We focus on arterial stiffness, an important hemodynamic indicator of vascular health that has shown promising results for improved early prediction of preeclampsia by our and independent research groups. Further, we outline the promise, applicability, and feasibility of integrating arterial stiffness assessments into clinical practice.

动脉僵化作为子痫前期早期预测的新工具：透视。

先兆子痫是一种主要的妊娠并发症，但缺乏早期预测的准确工具。改善妊娠早期的风险分层工具将能更有效地分配有限的医疗资源，同时确保注定会患上子痫前期的孕妇得到适当的护理。这篇简短的文章重点介绍了第一胎子痫前期预测的现状。动脉僵化是血管健康的一个重要血液动力学指标，我们的研究小组和独立研究小组在改善子痫前期的早期预测方面取得了可喜的成果。此外，我们还概述了将动脉僵化评估纳入临床实践的前景、适用性和可行性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Hypertension is published monthly and is of interest to health care professionals who deal with hypertension (specialists, internists, primary care physicians) and public health workers. We believe that our patients benefit from robust scientific data that are based on well conducted clinical trials. We also believe that basic sciences are the foundations on which we build our knowledge of clinical conditions and their management. Towards this end, although we are primarily a clinical based journal, we also welcome suitable basic sciences studies that promote our understanding of human hypertension. The journal aims to perform the dual role of increasing knowledge in the field of high blood pressure as well as improving the standard of care of patients. The editors will consider for publication all suitable papers dealing directly or indirectly with clinical aspects of hypertension, including but not limited to epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutics and basic sciences involving human subjects or tissues. We also consider papers from all specialties such as ophthalmology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and stroke medicine that deal with the various aspects of hypertension and its complications.
