Pregnancy in the patient with hypertensive disease

Abstract

W E HAVE thought it worth while to survey our experience with pregnancy in women with hypertensive disease. There are relatively few such studies based upon any considerable series, and in most studies extant there has been a selective factor in that therapeutic abortion has been done in the more severely hypertensive patients. It has not been our policy lo abort such women, and our large material therefore offers an almost unique opportunity for the study of’ the natural history of pregnancy in hypertensive women.
