Abstract

espanolLa fuerte relacion epidemiologica que existe entre la preeclampsia y la miocardiopatia periparto sugiere que las dos enfermedades comparten una fisiopatologia antiangiogenica y considera que ambas contribuyen a la morbilidad y mortalidad cardiovascular significativa en las pacientes embarazadas. El s-FLT1, una enzima recientemente identificada en la familia de la tirosina quinasa, parece ser un agente antiangiogenico con poder cardiotoxico, que aparece elevado tanto en la miocardiopatia periparto como en la preeclampsia. A la luz de la fuerte asociacion entre los dos procesos, parece recomendable que las mujeres con preeclampsia no sean excluidas de los estudios futuros de la miocardiopatia periparto EnglishThe strong epidemiological link between pre-eclampsia and peripartum cardiomyopathy suggests that the two diseases share an anti-angiogenic pathophysiology. Both contribute to significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in pregnant patients. The s-FLT1, a recently identified family of tyrosine kinase enzyme, appears to be an anti-angiogenic agent with cardiotoxic power, which appears high in both peripartum cardiomyopathy and pre-eclampsia. Considering the strong association between the two processes, it is recommended that women with pre-eclampsia are not excluded from future studies of peripartum cardiomyopathy.
