Comparison between groups and trimesters, with respect to pregnancy outcome, was performed using linear mixed model analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Women with a high risk cardiovascular profile show higher CDe, regardless of pregnancy outcome.

Capillary bed (CB), as a composite of CDe and CDi, is stable during pregnancy in women with low risk cardiovascular profile. In women with high risk cardiovascular profile, CB drops from the first to the second trimester, regardless of pregnancy outcome.
