Both history of PE and BMI have negative effects on endothelial function, insulin resistance and are associated with lower physical fitness. In formerly pre-eclamptic women the effect of BMI on insulin resistance was particularly high suggesting a synergistic effect. Additionally, independent of BMI a history of PE is associated with increased carotid IMT and reduced carotid distensibility and increased blood pressure. Recognizing the cardiovascular risk profile is important to inform patients and to stimulate targeted lifestyle modification. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
