A history of preeclampsia is associated with a low plasma volume and higher sympathetic activity. Methyldopa will suppress sympathetic activity to normal values. In this study, the researchers will test that effect on the total cardiovascular balance.
This is a randomized double-blind placebo controlled cross-over study in formerly preeclamptic women with a contracted plasma volume. The researchers will test the effect of methyldopa on the cardiovascular balance and orthostatic tolerance in women with a history of preeclampsia and healthy controls.
