Periodic periodic assessment of antenatal and post natal serum Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and Nitric Oxide (NO) levels in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP)

Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP) is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular (CVS) disease with endothelial dysfunction postulated to be the pathophysiology. Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, has been identified as a pivotal mediator in HDP. Disturbances in nitric oxide (NO...
