Tóm tắt

Chronic hypertension and preeclampsia spectrum disorders in pregnancy are important contributors to long-term maternal morbidity and mortality. Due to physiologic changes during pregnancy and the postpartum period, blood pressure expectations differ between primary care providers and obstetricians. The goal of this article is to describe the pathophysiology and definitions of hypertension in the obstetric context and review current evidence for management during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Longitudinal follow-up with a primary care provider after delivery is crucial for long-term cardiovascular risk reduction in hypertensive patients.
