What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the short-, intermediate-, and long-term effects of postpartum hypertension, focusing on identifying predictors and risk factors associated with cardiovascular and renal health. It involves data collection on blood pressure measurements, organ damage markers, and patient-reported outcomes. Additionally, there will be a home-based blood pressure management substudy to evaluate current disease management strategies.
