Zusammenfassung
Objective: To assess the effects of oral supplementation with L-Arginine on uterine artery vascular resistance (UAVR) and brachial artery flow mediated dilatation (FMD) in early stages of 21 pregnancies with high UAVR and previous poor obstetric outcome. Design: In a double blind, placebo controlled fashion, women between 10–13 weeks with high UAVR maintained for at least two weeks [Transvaginal Color Doppler ultrasound; mean resistance index (IR) >95 percentile and bilateral notches] received placebo or L-Arginine (0.1g/kg/day) during two weeks. UAVR and FMD (Vascular ultrasound) were assessed at the time of di…
