Antithrombotic Agents
There are sound theoretical reasons that antithrombotic agents
might reduce the incidence of preeclampsia. As discussed on
page 734, the syndrome is characterized by vasospasm, endothelial
cell dysfunction, and inflammation, as well as activation
of platelets and the coagulation-hemostasis system. Moreover,
prostaglandin imbalance(s) may be operative, and other
sequelae include placental infarction and spiral artery thrombosis
(Nelson, 2014).
