Abstract

Acute blood-pressure control in pregnancy is associated with a concomitant reduction in blood pressure and ophthalmic artery PSV ratio. In hypertensive pregnant women, there is a significant association of PSV ratio with MAP, SBP and DBP, which disappears after blood pressure is reduced to < 140/90 mmHg following antihypertensive treatment. © 2021 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
