Circulating endothelial cell number and markers of endothelial dysfunction in previously preeclamptic women

Markers of endothelial activation, dysfunction, and damage were increased in patients with PE. After the delivery, this activation status is similar to the age-matched nonpregnant women with a history of normal pregnancy. However, sVEGFR-1 levels remain higher in women with a history of preeclampsia compared with women without a history of preeclampsia.
