Abstract

A potential role of cardiac output has been proposed in the development of preeclampsia. Given that cardiac output may contribute to hypertensive states in the general population, a contribution from cardiac output to preeclampsia is plausible. However, the interplay between the heart and the periphery is complex, and some responses in cardiac output during pregnancy are surprising even when pregnancy progresses without complications. Therefore, this review focuses on recent evidence that has provided new insight into cardiac output in healthy humans including pregnancy, and offers some suggestions about future studies in preeclamptic patients.
