ABSTRACT: This paper aims to explore the diagnostic value
of noninvasivecardiac function measurement for hypertension in pregnancy.
One hundred and fifty-eight cases of gestational hypertension in our hospital
were analyzed retrospectively while 30 healthy pregnant women were served as
normal controls. The heart function parameters in the two groups were measured
with noninvasive cardiac function analyzer, such as myocardial contractive
force indexes (JP, VP), impedance indexes (RTM, RS), volume load indexes (GCV,
LVDP) and left heart output index (LCI). In all 158 cases of gestational
hypertension, the myocardial contractive force indexes, impedance indexes and
left heart output index increased unusually. The difference between the two
groups was statistically significant (P
