Figure 1.
Typical ascending aortic waveform.
Typical ascending waveform, showing two systolic peaks (P1 and P2). Augmentation index is calculated as the difference between P2 and P1, expressed as percentage of pulse pressure.

Figure 2.
Pulse wave velocity in the study populations.
Box and whisker plots comparing the maternal pulse wave velocity of the carotid-femoral and carotid-radial parts of the arterial tree, expressed as multiples of the median (MoM) in women who subsequently developed pre-eclampsia (PE group) and in the non-preeclampsia group (Non-PE group). Boxes represent inter-quartile range, where the line represents the median. Whiskers at top and bottom of the box represent the highest and lowest values.
