Abstract
Our results indicate that GH and late onset preeclampsia are distinct disease entities with a different pathogenic mechanism underlying their cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, this study supports the hypothesis that these two diseases are early manifestations of cardiovascular vulnerability due to an unfavorable risk profile, and that obesity plays a main role. Our results suggest that this high-risk female population would be eligible for preventive care.
