Preventing long-term high blood pressure after preeclampsia
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing a medication called nifedipine (a long-acting blood pressure pill) to see if it can help lower the risk of long-term high blood pressure and improve blood vessel health after a pregnancy complication like preeclampsia. It is for women who have just given birth and are still in the hospital.
