Blood pressure treatment goals for high blood pressure in pregnancy
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two blood pressure goals for pregnant people with high blood pressure or preeclampsia: keeping blood pressure below 140/90 versus below 160/110. We want to find out which goal leads to better outcomes for you and your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
