This was a prospective observational case-control study and 66 women with term PE and 46 gestational age matched healthy pregnant women at gestational age >37 weeks were included.

Most of the studies have focused on the functional and structural alterations occured in the left-sided heart.

There is a lack of published data on myocardial structure and function of the right-sided heart in PE.

Although we could not demonstrate right ventricular dysfunction in term PE patients, we demonstrated significant differences in some right ventricular measurements.

PE is not only affecting the left-sided heart but also affecting the right-sided heart.
