Overall, the two groups had similar NT-proBNP (HTN: 39.0 [4.5] vs. no HTN: 35.6 [4.3] pg/mL) and hs-CRP (HTN: 12.0 [1.7] vs. no HTN: 9.9 [1.5] mg/L). For both groups, NT-proBNP and hs-CRP increased from baseline to postpartum (NT-proBNP, HTN: 127% [58-227%], no HTN: 120% [51-219%]; hs-CRP: HTN: 550% [343-853%], no HTN: 664% [415-1034%]).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>HTN was associated with markers of cardiac injury during pregnancy, while delivery alone led to increases in markers of strain and inflammation. These biomarker changes associated with HTN in pregnancy may represent potential mechanisms to explain adverse cardiovascular events.</p>","PeriodicalId":7578,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Hypertension","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143956389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
