Comparison of Blood Pressure Throughout Pregnancy

NCT00452647 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 200

Last updated 2013-09-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to observe and analyze variation of diastolic blood pressure measurements at third trimester of pregnancy and when they present for delivery in comparison to healthy volunteers.

When patients present for delivery, we expect blood pressure to be lower than normal. However this is not the case. We aim to determine where this trend occurs throughout to duration of pregnancy, and propose possible explanation as to the source of this event.

After discharge, the information recorded includes each patient's blood pressure upon admission to the labor floor, and several blood pressure measurements from prior clinical visits.
