Strategic Roadmap to Address High Rates of Hypertension-related Maternal Mortality and Morbidity in Black Women
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a leading cause of maternal mortality and can put both mother and baby at risk for problems during pregnancy. Women who had HDPs have postpartum risks of chronic hypertension up to ten times those ob...
Although underlying causes of preeclampsia are not fully understood, there is evidence suggesting a strong genetic component. Genetic risk factors for blood pressure have been shown to contribute to the risk of preeclampsia.
High blood pressure (above 120/80 mm Hg) during pregnancy was linked to a greater chance of developing long-term health problems like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Planned early-term delivery in individuals with mild chronic hypertension was not associated with a reduction in adverse maternal outcomes but was associated with an increase in some neonatal complications. Mild chronic hypertension (or high blood p...
This study shows a link between preeclampsia and long-term brain health. Preeclampsia can affect the brain including experiencing changes in cognitive performance and a greater rate of cognitive decline in midlife.
New algorithm to predict heart disease includes nine new variables for women (including preeclampsia and postpartum depression). This could enable earlier treatment and lifestyle changes, potentially preventing many cardiovascular deaths.
Researchers found that women who had preeclampsia are at greater risk for accelerated aging and multiple long-term health problems than those who did not have preeclampsia.
Researchers found in-home care with remote monitoring may be an effective way to treat high blood pressure after pregnancy, reducing ER visits among a racially and socioeconomically diverse population. The model shows promise for expansion to areas w...
Preeclampsia patients are at risk of having ongoing high blood pressure after giving birth. This can lead to severe hypertension and hospital readmissions. The data shows the importance of remote blood pressure monitoring programs.
The Preeclampsia Foundation is seeking Letters of Intent for the Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grants funding program, designed to accelerate preeclampsia research.
