Summary
Brief summary
Pregnancy-associated hypertension and dyslipidemia are among the major causes of maternal deaths. There are myriad of safety concerns with the use of drugs in pregnancy. Several clinical trials have indicated the beneficial effects of almond on the cardiovascular system including our recent clinical trials showing HDL increasing potential of almonds. While exploring the underlying mechanism we found amelioration of vascular dysfunction by almonds, indicating therapeutic potential in hypertension. Keeping in view the lack of almond-intervention trials on hypertensive patients we aim to conduct a randomized controlled clinical study on hypertensive and dyslipidemic pregnant women visiting the consultant clinics at the Aga Khan Maternity Hospital, Karimabad, Karachi. The objective is to access the effectiveness of almonds in pregnancy-associated hypertension and/or dyslipidemia.
