Abstract

Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are a major cause of both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality and account for approximately one quarter of all antenatal admissions to the hospital [1]. The spectrum of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy includes preexisting hypertension, new-onset hypertension in pregnancy, as well as hypertension that may occur de novo in the postpartum period. Challenges in the management of hypertension in pregnancy include choosing when to use antihypertensive medication, goals of antihypertensive therapy, and which drugs to use. Recent data also show that hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with long-term cardiovascular risks in women.
