Oral Combined Hydrochlorothiazide/Lisinopril Versus Oral Nifedipine for Postpartum Hypertension: A Comparative Effectiveness Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating ACE Inhibitors and Diuretics and NIFEdipine ER for Hypertension in Pregnancy and Postpartum Preeclampsia. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if a combined pill of Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (a medication that helps relax your veins and arteries to lower your blood pressure) with diuretics (sometimes called water pills, help rid your body of salt and water) will control blood pressure better than a different blood pressure medication of calcium channel blocker (lower your blood pressure by preventing calcium from entering the cells of your heart and arteries). Both medications are part of our usual care for high blood pressure after delivery.
