Resumo
Obesity is a major risk factor for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The underlying mechanisms are largely unclear, but maternal vascular endothelial dysfunction is likely involved. Endothelial dysfunction in HDP could be attributed to 1) alterations in the L-arginine/nitric oxide (NO) pathway, and 2) an increase in endothelin-1 (ET-1). Additionally, augmented sympathetic vasoconstriction may also contribute...Mostrar mais

Obesity is a major risk factor for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The underlying mechanisms are unclear, but maternal vascular endothelial dysfunction is likely involved. Endothelial dysfunction in HDP could be attributed in part to: 1) alterations in the L-arginine/nitric oxide (NO) pathway, and 2) an increase in endothelin-1 (ET-1). Conversely, augmented sympathetic vasoconstriction may also contribute ...Mostrar mais

ExperimentalSauna blanket set at 65°C
The temperature of the sauna blanket will be set at 65°C and participants will perform home-based leg heating 4 times per week, 45 minutes per session.
Leg heating
Participants will perform home-based leg heating using a portable sauna blanket set at different temperature.

  • Women with overweight or obesity (self-reported pre-pregnancy body mass index ≥25 kg/m2) between 10-14 weeks of gestation and aged 18-45 years old will be enrolled.
  • Both normotensive and hypertensive (office sitting systolic BP 140-150 mmHg and/or diastolic BP 90-100 mmHg) pregnant women will be enrolled if they are not on any antihypertensive drug treatment.
  • We will enroll both nulliparous and multiparous women.
  • There is no restriction regarding race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status.
  • Women with a history of HDP will be allowed to participate.
  • Women taking low-dose aspirin will be allowed to participate and aspirin use will be documented.

  • Current multiple pregnancies (e.g., twins, triplets, etc.).
  • Known major fetal chromosomal or anatomical abnormalities diagnosed during the study.
  • Recurrent miscarriage (three or more, to avoid antiphospholipid antibody syndrome).
  • Office sitting BP <100/55 mmHg or >150/100 mmHg (for safety reasons).
  • Evidence of cardiovascular, pulmonary, or neurological diseases.
  • Diabetes mellitus (to avoid its effects on vascular endothelial function and sympathetic vasoconstriction).
  • Kidney disease (serum creatinine >0.9 mg/dL).
  • Clinical known deep vein thrombosis, clinical symptoms and history of deep vein thrombosis, or dermatological lesions.
  • History of drug or alcohol abuse within the last 2 years.
  • Current tobacco use.
  • Pregnant women who do not have air conditioning at home during summer (for safety reasons).
