Article Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a disease in pregnancy that is characterized by new-onset hypertension end-organ dysfunction, often occurring after 20 weeks of gestation. Risk factors include a prior history of PE, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, and high maternal age at pregnancy. Current treatment and management guidelines focus on the management of high blood pressure and any potential complications. The only known curative treatment is termination of pregnancy (either induction of delivery or cesarean section). However, the current guidelines and recommendations lack adequate prediction markers and are unable to prevent maternal and fetal mortality. There also exists a need for multidisciplinary collaborative action in view of the quality of life and psycho-educational counseling.

Objectives: Recommendations regarding the use of third-trimester ultrasound lack universal consensus. Yet, there is evidence which supports its value in assessing fetal growth, fetal well-being, and a number of pregnancy-related complications. This literature review evaluates the available scientific evidence regarding its applications, usefulness, and the timing of the third-trimester scan in a low-risk population.

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford, United Kingdom. (J.K., L. Biasiolli, S.K., H.C., A.F., K.S., Y.K., W.L., P.L.).
Background: Hypertensive pregnancy disorders are associated with long-term adverse cardiac and vascular remodeling postindex pregnancy. The POP-HT trial (Physician Optimised Postpartum Hypertension Treatment) demonstrated that improved puerperal blood pressure control leads to reduced blood pressure and beneficial cardiac remodeling during the first year postpartum. This study describes the impact on postpartum vascular remodeling.
