Optimal Blood Pressure Treatment Thresholds Postpartum

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy, Pre-Eclampsia, Hypertension, Eclampsia, Gestational Hypertension, Cardiovascular Diseases, Toxemia, Pregnancy Complications, Vascular Diseases, Hypertension, Pregnancy Induced, Hypertension;Pre-Eclamptic

In brief

The objective of this research project is to conduct a single-site pilot trial within our institution's clinical remote blood pressures (BP) management program to assess the feasibility and effect of tight blood pressure control versus usual care in the immediate postpartum period after a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP). The investigators' central hypothesis is that tight blood pressure control will be feasible and acceptable to postpartum individuals and will result in lower BP at six months postpartum and a reduction in postpartum hospital readmissions. Subjects will undergo 3 study visits (1 in-person and 2 remote) involving BP measurements, blood draws, and/or questionnaires. Up to 60 adult subjects will be enrolled at Magee-Women's Hospital.
