Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The standard of care for patients with pregnancy induced hypertension is to start antihypertensive therapy if blood pressures are consistently over 150/100 mm Hg. There is no established standard of care for titrating blood pressure medication in the postpartum period for those with chronic hypertension and the approach to these patients varies by institution. The intervention in this study will be to start antihypertensive medications at a lower blood pressure cutoff, which is commonly used in the non-pregnant patient population to more tightly control blood pressure. Remote patient monitoring may be considered standard of care. The blood pressure targets chosen for this study are considered to be standard of care for non-pregnant people.
