Abstract

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) remain a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Moreover, HDP are directly linked to an increased risk of long-term cardiometabolic and kidney disease in mothers and offspring. Since prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HDP remain suboptimal globally, enhanced understanding and implementation of current guidelines on HDP present a substantial opportunity to significantly reduce maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. This position paper by the International Society of Hypertension reviews current knowledge in the field, identifies knowledge gaps and provides recommendations on the care of women with HDP and lifelong care, thereafter.
