ABSTRACT

Background: Blood pressure (BP) has a circadian rhythm, decreases at night and increases in the morning (dipper), have been observed in patients with impaired in this profile, increased at night and lower in the morning (no dipper ) have increased cardiovascular risk. Preeclampsia-eclampsia complicates about 7% of pregnancies, preeclampsia is known to reverse the normal circadian cycle of the BP.
Objective: To determine the profile dipper/non-dipper in patients with severe pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and HELLP syndrome patients in Intensive Care and Obstetrics Hospital Juárez of México.
Material and methods: 15 patients were reviewed, 10 with severe preeclampsia, 4 with HELLP syndrome and 1 eclampsia, systolic, diastolic, mean and pulse PA were analyzed during the day/night and pregnancy/postpartum. Using ratios pregnancy day/night pregnancy, puerperium day / night postpartum dipper/non-dipper profile is determined
Results: Maternal age 30 ± 6.34 years, 7 primiparous (46%) 8 multiparous (54%), pregnancy was 31.67 ± 4.59 weeks. In all but two results in the ratio of pulse pressure during pregnancy was not the result dipper raiser and did not change during the postpartum period.
Conclusion: in all patients during pregnancy profile was observed no dipper no change during the postpartum period. The established treatment did not modify this result. So it is appropriate to establish strategies to change this behavior and try to get the patient to regain normal circadian BP rhythm.
