Cardiovascular changes that occur during pregnancy have been recently described and are matter of debate; during gestation we observe an increase in cardiac output and a reduction of peripheral total vascular resistance (TVR). In pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders, instead, these changes are lacking, with a persisting low cardiac output and high peripheral resistances. In this case report, we observed that in patients with chronic hypertension TVR are high, while the cardiac output is able to face the needs of pregnancy. The increase in TVR before the decision to deliver, due to bad blood pressure control despite therapy, may precede the alterations in blood tests (platelet decreasing and high liver enzymes). This data may be useful for monitoring patients with chronic hypertension and identifying those at higher risk of developing HELLP/severe preeclampsia.

Usefulness of USCOM® evaluation in women with chronic hypertension who developed severe preeclampsia with low platelets and elevated liver enzymes
