In recent years, the attention of many researchers around the world has been focused on studying the risks associated with the development of the pathological course of pregnancy in women with arterial hypertension (AH). The pathogenesis of gestational complications is complex and is largely associated with endothelial dysfunction, changes in the structure and properties of the vascular wall and a decrease in its elasticity. At the same time, at the present stage, a high prognostic value of the assessment of vascular elasticity in the development of cardiovascular disasters in patients with hypertension in the general population has been proved. In order to predict the risk of gestational complications early, it is promising to study the state of elasticity of the vascular wall, which will optimize the management of pregnancy and improve perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with hypertension. The literature search was carried out by keywords using the Scopus, Web of Science, Cyber Leninka, RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index) systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
