Objective: The aim of this study was to measure maternal plasma vascular endothelial
growth factor concentrations during normal and hypertensive pregnancies and examine
their relationship with maternal total peripheral resistance values. Study Design: Plasma
concentrations of total immunoreactive vascular endothelial growth factor and total
peripheral resistances were measured serially throughout pregnancy in 20 women with
preeclampsia, 24 women with gestational hypertension, and 26 normotensive control …
