Low-dose aspirin and vascular response in pregnant patients sensitive to angiotensin II

Int J Gynaecol Obstet. 1991 Jun;35(2):123-8. doi: 10.1016/0020-7292(91)90814-l.

Abstract

The angiotensin sensitivity test was performed in 25 high risk pregnant women before and after administration of low-dose aspirin (100 mg/day for 7 days). After aspirin administration there was a significant decrease in AII sensitivity in sensitive patients with no change in nonsensitive patients. Low-dose aspirin favorably affects sensitivity to AII in sensitive patients, thus indicating a reduced vascular reactivity as a consequence of this regimen.
