This research study is looking at women who had preeclampsia—a serious blood pressure condition during pregnancy—to see if exercise stress tests can help detect early heart problems that might develop afterward. Preeclampsia can increase the risk of heart disease later in life, and the researchers want to find a simple way to identify women at highest risk so they can get help sooner.
Preeclampsia puts women at higher risk for heart problems, but doctors don't have a reliable early-warning test. This study aims to find out whether exercise stress tests can spot these heart problems before symptoms appear, so women can get treatment and support early.

Researchers will first approach you during pregnancy or when you arrive at the hospital to give birth to see if you're interested in joining. If you agree, you'll complete an exercise stress test—where you'll exercise on a treadmill or stationary bike while your heart is monitored—either before delivery or in the postpartum period. You'll also be asked to return for follow-up visits after you go home to help the researchers track how your heart is doing over time.
