The article presents the cross-sectional study conducted by the researchers regarding the risk faced by women with preeclampsia history in developing chronic hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The study administered to 22 women with preeclampsia history and 29 parous controls participants aims to determine if preeclampsia predisposes to renal impairments and central hemodynamic. The result shows that former preeclamptic women have impaired central hemodynamic and renal function.
