Feto‐maternal indicators of cardiac dysfunction as a justification for the cardiac origins for pre‐eclampsia
While the pathophysiology of pre‐eclampsia has been postulated as being secondary to placental dysfunction, a cardiac origin has more recently been proposed. Although an association between fetal congenital cardiovascular disease and pre‐eclampsia has been demonstrated, no precise pathophysiologic mechanism for this association has been described. This review highlights the current biophysical (including echocardiography and Doppler indices) and biochemical (including proteomic, metabolomic and genetic/transcriptomic) markers of cardiac dysfunction that have been investigated in maternal and fetal cardiac disease and their overlap with predictors of pre‐eclampsia. Common pathways of inflammatory and anti‐angiogenesis imbalance, endothelial damage, and oxidative stress have been demonstrated in both cardiovascular disease and pre‐eclampsia and further investigation into these pathways could help to elucidate the common pathophysiologic mechanisms linking these disorders.
