Advances in postpartum hypertension management: a review of current guidelines and interventions

Abstract

Abstract The increased cardiovascular risk associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) necessitates methods to improve cardiometabolic health in this population. Postpartum hypertension clinics providing cardiovascular assessment, lifestyle counseling, and medication management have emerged as one such strategy. This review examines current recommendations and interventions for care of postpartum HDP patients and highlights the need for research into solutions merging clinical practice with digital health innovations, ultimately improving long-term maternal health.
