During normal pregnancy (NP), cardiac output (CO) increases, and blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance are reduced. We wanted to evaluate systemic arterial properties and interaction between the left ventricle (LV) and systemic arteries during NP. The role of systemic arteries and their interaction with LV-function in this hemodynamic response, lack description.
