Preeclampsia is a multifactorial pregnancy-specific syndrome, which can result in significant alterations in cardiovascular hemodynamics. We report an observation of unexpected relative bradycardia in a previously healthy woman who presented with postpartum preeclampsia and acute pulmonary edema. We observed an increase in heart rate following normalization of blood pressure, which suggested that the initial slower than expected heart rate may reflect a baroreceptor response to hypertension. Whether this finding should be regarded as a severe aspect of the disease spectrum needs further study.
子痫前期是一种多因素的妊娠特异性综合征，可导致心血管血流动力学发生显著改变。我们报告了一例先前健康的女性产后发生子痫前期和急性肺水肿时出现意外性相对心动过缓的观察病例。我们观察到血压恢复正常后心率增加，这表明最初低于预期的心率可能反映了压力感受器对高血压的反应。这一发现是否应被视为疾病谱的一个严重方面，尚需进一步研究。
