Currently there are no tests available to confirm the diagnosis of preeclampsia in pregnant women. Preeclampsia affects two to 10 percent of pregnancies in the United States and it's the most common and potentially life threatening complication for a pregnant woman and her child. Dr. Margaret Miller, an assistant professor of medicine and obstetrics and gynecology at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, discusses with host Dr. Lisa Mazzullo her research examining possible biomarkers to predict preeclampsia and its possible link to cardiovascular disease later in life.
