Abstract

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) can result in significant maternal morbidity and even mortality. Available data suggest that many antihypertensives can be safely used in pregnant patients, albeit with close supervision of parameters like fetal growth and amniotic fluid volume. This article summarizes current guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in pregnancy and provides an in-depth guide to the available safety and efficacy data for antihypertensives during pregnancy and postpartum.
