Abstract
While definitions for pre-eclampsia and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy have drifted over several decades—from a triad of signs in the 1950s to hypertension and multi-organ involvement in 2018—one constant has been the cutoff to define hypertension: 140 mmHg systolic blood pressure (sBP) and 90 mmHg diastolic blood pressure (dBP). Long used as a reliable border separating normal from abnormal, this simple cutoff has been called into question.
