TY  - CHAP
AB  - Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy affect approximately 5-10% of all maternities and are major contributors of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. This group of disorders encompasses chronic hypertension, as well as conditions that arise de novo in pregnancy: gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. The latter group is thought to be part of the same continuum but with arbitrary division. Research into the etiology of hypertension in pregnancy has largely been focused on preeclampsia, with a majority of studies exploring either pregnancy-associated factors such as placental derived or immunologic responses to pregnancy tissue, or maternal constitutional factors such as cardiovascular health and endothelial dysfunction. The evidence base for the pathophysiology and progression of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, particularly preeclampsia, is reviewed. Clinical algorithms and pharmacological agents for the management of hypertension in pregnancy are summarized, with a brief focus on postpartum considerations. Novel therapeutic options for the management of preeclampsia are also explored.
