Effects of perinatal blood pressure on maternal brain functional connectivity
Perinatal hypertensive disorder including pre-eclampsia is a systemic syndrome that occurs in 3–5% of pregnant women. It can result in various degrees of brain damage. A recent study suggested that even gestational hypertension without proteinuria can cause cardiovascular or cognitive impairments la...

description | Perinatal hypertensive disorder including pre-eclampsia is a systemic syndrome that occurs in 3–5% of pregnant women. It can result in various degrees of brain damage. A recent study suggested that even gestational hypertension without proteinuria can cause cardiovascular or cognitive impairments later in life. We hypothesized that perinatal hypertension affects the brain functional connectivity (FC) regardless of the clinical manifestation of brain functional impairment. In the present study, we analyzed regional global connectivity (rGC) strength (mean cross-correlation coefficient between a brain region and all other regions) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to clarify brain FC changes associated with perinatal blood pressure using data from 16 women with a normal pregnancy and 21 pregnant women with pre-eclampsia. The rGC values in the bilateral orbitofrontal gyri were negatively correlated with diastolic blood pressure (dBP), which could not be explained by other pre-eclampsia symptoms. The strength of FC seeding at the left orbitofrontal gyrus was negatively correlated with dBP in the anterior cingulate gyri and right middle frontal gyrus. These results suggest that dBP elevation during pregnancy can affect the brain FC. Since FC is known to be associated with various brain functions and diseases, our findings are important for elucidating the neural correlate of cognitive impairments related to hypertension in pregnancy. |
