The aim of the study was to assess metabolic abnormalities in women with different patterns of hypertension during pregnancy in a prospective long-term observational study. 38 females were followed for 10 years after pregnancy. 16 females with normal pregnancy served as a control group. It is shown than hypertension during pregnancy predispose to blood pressure stabilization, target organ damage as well as metabolic disturbances and can predispose to metabolic syndrome manifestation. Maternal weight before pregnancy, and weight increase during pregnancy are predictors of future metabolic syndrome. It was shown also that enalapril 5-20 mg per day can significantly reduce blood pressure and improve metabolic glucose and lipid parameters in such women.
