Home blood pressure monitoring detects unrevealed hypertension in women with a history of preeclampsia: Results of the BP-PRESELF study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The risk of cardiovascular disease more than doubles after hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. As early onset chronic hypertension contributes to cardiovascular risk, implementation of screening strategies, using home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM), may help to improve long-term cardiovascular health.We evaluated whether HBPM among women with a history of preeclampsia/HELLP syndrome is feasible for early detection and management of hypertension.

Methods

The BP-PRESELF study is a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomized to intervention group with HBPM for the duration of 1 year or the control group with 'usual care'. The primary outcome was feasibility of HBPM during 1 year of follow-up, defined as protocol adherence, protocol persis
