NCT07463898
The goal of this study is to find and confirm blood-based markers (called proteins) that may show early heart changes in women with preeclampsia, even before symptoms appear. It will also use heart ultrasound (echocardiography) to look at patterns of how the heart changes during pregnancy in women with preeclampsia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do these blood markers relate to heart changes on ultrasound? * How may they help predict future health problems for the mother? Participants will: * Complete a 20-minute survey that will include taking your baseline demographic information, clinical information/medical history, asking about pre-existing health conditions, including measuring your height, weight, and blood pressure. * Have transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed at 12 - 16 weeks gestation and again at 28 - 32 weeks gestation. * Provide a blood sample for these protein measurements. These samples will be collected at intake (12 - 16 weeks gestation) and again at 28 - 32 weeks gestation.

Coronary revascularization, such as heart bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI \[inserting a stent to open up blood vessels\]) improve survival for people with coronary artery disease. Yet, many patients suffer from poor physical and mental health after coronary revascularization. Traditional cardiac rehabilitation involving moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) improves physical and mental health. However, alternative exercise programs, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and Nordic walking may provide superior benefits. Nordic walking is like Nordic skiing but uses specifically designed poles for walking. Nordic walking involved core, upper and lower body muscles, resulting in greater energy expenditure while reducing loading stress at the knee. To date, HIIT used in cardiac rehabilitation settings has focused on lower body (e.g., leg cycling). The investigators are not aware of HIIT protocols that target both upper and lower body at the same time. An exercise program that combines HIIT and Nordic walking (HIIT-NoW) may offer an alternative time-efficient whole-body exercise to improve physical and mental health. This study will test if HIIT-NoW can be an alternative exercise option to improve physical and mental health in patients with coronary artery disease.
