The “Preeclampsia and Hypertension Target Treatment” study: a multicenter prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of the antihypertensive therapy based on maternal hemodynamic findings

Despite major advances in the pharmacologic treatment of hypertension in the nonpregnant population, treatments for hypertension in pregnancy have remained largely unchanged over the years. There is recent evidence that a more adequate control of maternal blood pressure is achieved when the first given antihypertensive drug is able to correct the underlying hemodynamic disorder of the mother besides normalizing the blood pressure values.
