Women with a history of EO-PE show LV fibrosis in the short-medium term after delivery compared with women with previous LO-PE pregnancy and controls. LV fibrosis is associated with GA and mean UtA-PI at onset of PE. Larger studies using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are needed to validate and confirm our findings. Copyright © 2017 ISUOG.
