BACKGROUND Hypertensive pregnancy disorders (HPD) are associated with dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Cardiac autonomic functions can be assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) measurements. OBJECTIVE To study whether HRV detects differences in the function of the autonomic nervous system between pregnant women with HPD compared to normotensive pregnant women and between women with a history of a pregnancy complicated by HPD compared to women with a history of an uncomplicated pregnancy. METHODS A systematic search was performed in Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL to identify studies comparing HRV between pregnant women with HPD or women with a history of HPD to women with (a history of) normotensive pregnancies. RESULTS The search identified 523 articles of which 24 were included in this review, including 850 women with (a history of) HPD and 1205 normotensive controls. The included studies showed a large heterogenicity. A decrease in overall HRV was found in preeclampsia (PE), compared to normotensive pregnant controls. A trend is seen towards increased low frequency/high frequency-ratio in women with PE compared to normotensive pregnant controls. CONCLUSIONS Our systematic review supports the hypothesis a sympathetic overdrive is found in HPD which is associated with a parasympathetic withdrawal. However, the included studies in our review showed a large diversity in the methods applied and their results.

D005260 Female Females
D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D001341 Autonomic Nervous System The ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; and SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM taken together. Generally speaking, the autonomic nervous system regulates the internal environment during both peaceful activity and physical or emotional stress. Autonomic activity is controlled and integrated by the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, especially the HYPOTHALAMUS and the SOLITARY NUCLEUS, which receive information relayed from VISCERAL AFFERENTS.
