Mobile Health Program for Post-Preeclampsia Hypertension
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hypertension (HTN), Preeclampsia, Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP)
In brief
Strategies targeted to optimize hypertension (HTN) control for midlife women after hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have not been studied, despite evidence of a critical need. This proposal targets the 10-20 years postpartum as a key time when women have subclinical cardiovascular (CV) sequelae of uncontrolled HTN and are primed for CV prevention interventions. Before proceeding with large-scale intervention trials of a home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and coaching intervention following HDP, further pilot testing is necessary. The overarching hypothesis of this proposal is that a new monitoring and treatment paradigm utilizing HBPM combined with a virtual coaching intervention would be better than standard of care for mid-life women with prior HDP who develop HTN. Women will be assigned in an unblinded manner to the intervention or standard of care control group.

You may qualify if…
- Women who had a history of HDP (either gestational HTN or preeclampsia) diagnosed by ACOG guidelines at the time of delivery at Magee-Womens Hospital between 2008 and 2015, thus 10 to 20 years from their index pregnancy complicated by HDP.
- Evidence of current stage 2 HTN (BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg with or without treatment with antihypertensive medication).
You may not qualify if…
- Known clinical CVD (prior myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, or peripheral arterial disease).
- Males will also be excluded from this study as it focuses on pregnancy related conditions.
- Children will be excluded as the study is only recruiting people who are 10-20 years postpartum.
Where it is running
- UPMC Magee Womens Hospital — Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States (enrolling)
