Summary

This trial will help identify mechanisms of long-term blood vessel damage in women who have had preeclampsia, which can lead to better clinical management of cardiovascular disease risk.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-45 who experienced preeclampsia between 12 weeks and 5 years ago. It's also open to those who had healthy pregnancies. Participants should not be currently pregnant, planning pregnancy, have a history of hypertension or metabolic disease before pregnancy, use tobacco, or take certain medications like antihypertensives or statins.
What is being tested?
The study tests Compound 21 on the microvascular function in the skin of women post-preeclampsia. Researchers are investigating if activating angiotensin II receptors can repair blood vessel damage caused by preeclampsia and reduce future cardiovascular disease risk.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Compound 21 aren't detailed here, similar studies may involve minor reactions at the drug delivery site (skin), potential allergic responses to the compound or materials used during testing.
