Auto-antibodies against the angiotensin II type I receptor in women with uteroplacental acute atherosis and preeclampsia at delivery and several years postpartum

Our results confirm that circulating AT1-AA are present significantly more often in preeclampsia than in normotensive pregnancy, however without association to acute atherosis. Whether circulating maternal AT1-AA or acute atherosis target young women at increased long-term cardiovascular risk warrants further investigations.
