The preeclampsia research team is continuing to investigate the links between high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease in women especially around the time of pregnancy. Together with our committed mothers, we have been able to identify factors coming form the placenta which lead to damage in the mother's blood vessels and high blood pressure. These factors are potential markers for future blood pressure problems in these women. We are also interested in how these factors ink with other compounds which are know to cause heart disease.
