Summary

This trial will help us better understand the mechanisms of blood vessel damage in women who have had preeclampsia, and how we can treat this risk of cardiovascular disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-45 who are 12 weeks to 5 years postpartum. It's specifically for those who experienced preeclampsia and those who didn't, without a history of hypertension or metabolic disease before pregnancy, skin diseases, tobacco use, or current pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The study investigates the balance of angiotensin II receptors in blood vessels after preeclampsia using intradermal microdialysis. Angiotensin II and Compound 21 are being tested to understand their effects on restoring microvascular function.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include local reactions at the site where drugs are delivered into the skin such as redness, swelling or itching due to Angiotensin II or Compound 21. Allergic reactions could also occur.
