  Introduction: Doppler flowmetry of uterine arteries allows identifying women at risk of developing preeclampsia (PE), mainly early preeclampsia; it also facilitates the timely use of prophylaxis. Minidose Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) can help preventing/delaying preeclampsia development, as well as reducing its severity and the risk of complications. However, not all patients can use this medication; therefore, it is necessary finding clinical alternatives for pregnant women who do not tolerate ASA, as well as evaluating the possibility of increasing this prophylaxis with new drugsthe use of omega 3 is one of these alternatives. Thus, it is possible assuming that omega use by pregnant women could reduce the vascular resistance of uterine arteries and facilitate placentation. The aim of the current study is to evaluate uterine artery resistance and pulsatility indices, a.. View more»
