Why the study?
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remain a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, with suboptimal prevention, diagnosis, and treatment globally.
This International Society of Hypertension position paper provides comprehensive recommendations for managing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and mitigating long-term cardiometabolic risks.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) remain a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Moreover, HDP are directly linked to an increased risk of long-term cardiometabolic and kidney disease in mothers and offspring. Since prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of HDP remain suboptimal globally, enhanced understanding and implementation of current guidelines on HDP present a substantial opportunity to significantly reduce maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. This position paper by the International Society of Hypertension reviews current knowledge in the field, identifies knowledge gaps and provides recommendations on the care of women with HDP and lifelong care, thereafter.

Jones et al. (2026) conducted a review in Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was evaluated. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are directly linked to an increased risk of long-term cardiometabolic and kidney disease in mothers and offspring, necessitating lifelong care and guideline adherence.
