Blood pressure goals for gestational hypertension and preeclampsia
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two blood pressure targets for pregnant people with gestational hypertension or preeclampsia without severe features. It aims to find whether a lower target (under 140/90) is better than a higher target (under 160/110) for the health of the mother and baby.
