Self-Care Interventions for Preventing Cardiovascular Diseases After Hypertensive Pregnancy Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives

We evaluated whether self-care interventions reduced the incidence of cardiovascular events, chronic hypertension, and the risk of CVDs in women with previous HDP.
