APS Preeclampsia Research from Hippocrates to Present Day

Preeclampsia is a multisystem hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that affects 5% to 8% of all pregnancies. Preeclampsia significantly increases the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease-related mortality and morbidity of the pregnant parent. Preeclampsia was first described by Hippocrates in ancient Greece. Despite advancements in biology and medicine since 400 B.C., the origin of preeclampsia remains unknown, and it is still a leading cause of parental death. In this webinar, Stella Goulopoulou, PhD, will discuss her research on the role of circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA in preeclampsia pathogenesis and outcomes. Learn more and register.
