Abstract

The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) encompass a spectrum of disorders, including new-onset hypertension diagnosed during pregnancy (gestational hypertension), preeclampsia, and chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia. HDP are estimated to occur in ≈2% to 8% of pregnant women globally.1 The precise etiology of preeclampsia is unknown, although it is believed to be a systemic disease with widespread endothelial dysfunction2 that is either unmasked or invoked during pregnancy.
