Abstract

Preeclampsia (PE), new onset hypertension (HTN) during pregnancy, is associated with increased cerebral blood flow (CBF), impaired cognitive function, and memory loss. We have shown adoptive transfer of placental CD4+ T cells from PE women into athymic nude pregnant rats causes HTN and increased circulating factors associated with PE. COVID-19 (CV) during pregnancy is associated with increased diagnosis of PE. However, the role of CD4+ T cells stimulated in response to CV in contributing to the PE phenotype in patients with a Hx of CV during pregnancy is unknown.
