Online exercise program for heart health after pregnancy
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests an online exercise and education program designed to help women recover their heart health after giving birth if they had high blood pressure or preeclampsia during pregnancy. It aims to see if the program can improve blood pressure and overall well-being during the postpartum period.

This study looks at how physical activity affects the heart and blood-vessel health “profile” in women who have risk factors for a pregnancy condition (called GHD, related to preeclampsia risk). It may help researchers find safer or more helpful activity guidance before pregnancy.
This trial tests a program that lets you monitor your blood pressure at home after childbirth and learn about heart health. It's for women who had high blood pressure for the first time during pregnancy and are in the Ochsner system.
This study tests whether giving extra education, a blood pressure cuff at home, and a reminder bracelet helps new mothers with pregnancy-related high blood pressure better manage their health after going home.
This study checks heart health in women who had pregnancy complications (like preeclampsia) 3–6 years ago, compared to women who had a healthy pregnancy. It aims to find early signs of heart disease so doctors can help prevent it.
This trial tests whether the blood pressure medicine enalapril can help protect the hearts of people who had preeclampsia (a pregnancy-related high blood pressure condition) after they give birth. It is for those already in a hospital hypertension monitoring program.
This study tests a remote physical activity program designed to help new mothers lower their blood pressure after giving birth. If you had slightly high blood pressure earlier in pregnancy and are not very active, the program may help you manage your blood pressure at home.
