Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Lipoprotein lipase-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a vascular inflammatory marker associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Women with preeclampsia (PE) have elevated vascular inflammation and at higher CVD risk in the later life. We hypothesize that vascular inflammation related genetic variations increase the risk for developing future cardiovascular disease in women with PE. To test this...
