Preeclampsia is associated with an increased risk in heart failure, coronary heart disease, stroke, and death because of coronary heart or cardiovascular disease. With hypertensive disease in pregnancy (HDP), there is an increased risk of developing chronic hypertension compared to women with normal blood pressure during pregnancy at 10 to 20 years or later after delivery.
Cardiology Preeclampsia Clinic Goal
Establish care for early management and long-term monitoring for hypertension and risk modification.
Management Goals for HDP
- Wean BP medication as appropriate
- Ideal BP <120/80 mm Hg with BP goal <130/80mm Hg for patients with treated chronic hypertension
- Lifestyle changes for patients with stage I or stage II hypertension
- Screening labs: lipids, glucose, metabolic panel
- Screening echocardiogram, if indicated
Monitoring for Long-Term Cardiovascular Health
• Regular Home Blood Pressure Monitoring: High blood pressure is a key indicator of cardiovascular risk
• Cholesterol Level Monitoring: Regular screenings to identify any abnormalities that may increase cardiovascular risk
• Healthy Lifestyle Habits: including a balanced diet, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking to reduce the risk of CVD
• Annual Cardiology Follow-Up Physical Exams: Attend annual check-ups with your healthcare
provider to assess overall health and identify potential cardiovascular issues
