Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pre-eclampsia (PET) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are common complications of pregnancy that affect up to 15% of pregnancies in the UK. These conditions can have potentially devastating consequences to mothers and babies in pregnancy. Pre-term birth, that is often medically indicated to treat severe PET and FGR can cause cerebral palsy, breathing difficulty, developmental delay and even death in affected babies. Mothers who suffer from PET are at risk of seizures, strokes, multi-organ failure and future chronic hypertension. It is now thought that PET and FGR may result from poor adaptation of the maternal cardiovascular system to normal pregnancy. This project aims to study the patterns within the maternal cardiovascular system and haemodynamic profile in women who are at high risk of PET and FGR by using non-invasive methods to gather information about the functions of their hearts and major blood vessels. The investigators hope to elucidate the patterns that may offer an early warning to mothers who may develop PET and whose fetuses may be growth restricted. This would be an opportunity to more closely monitor, modify risk factors and treat earlier women who develop these conditions. Women who are at a high risk of PET and FGR as stipulated in the relevant Royal College of Obstetrics \& Gynaecology and National Institute of Clinical Excellence guidelines and who give their consent will be eligible for the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Low Risk

These patients are screened to be low-risk for pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction by the guidelines set out by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence; and the Royal College of Obstetricians \& Gynaecologists, respectively.

Non-invasive haemodynamic assessment

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Maternal non-invasive haemodynamic assessment: a pressure cuff (similar to the one used to measure blood pressure) is applied to the arm and thigh, and a further neck sensor applied. Information about the function of heart and major blood vessels are recorded

Maternal ophthalmic artery doppler

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Maternal ophthalmic artery doppler: an ultrasound probe is applied gently over the eyelid for a few seconds to study the blood flow of the main artery to the eye

High Risk

These patients are screened to be high-risk for pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction by the guidelines set out by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence; and the Royal College of Obstetricians \& Gynaecologists, respectively.

Non-invasive haemodynamic assessment

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Maternal non-invasive haemodynamic assessment: a pressure cuff (similar to the one used to measure blood pressure) is applied to the arm and thigh, and a further neck sensor applied. Information about the function of heart and major blood vessels are recorded
