Summary: This study assessed the effectiveness of peripartum screening in predicting CHT after HDP and found that a prediction model combining clinical and echocardiographic features showed excellent accuracy in identifying women at risk of persistent hypertension after HDP.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of interventional educations on the knowledge of pregnant women about hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The study found that educational interventions can improve pregnant women's knowledge about HDP, thereby reducing the occurrence of related complications.

Summary: Most low- and middle-income countries have low calcium intake during pregnancy and high rates of mortality due to maternal hypertensive disorders. Calcium supplementation during pregnancy is known to reduce the risk of these disorders, but it is not widely implemented due to cost and logistical issues. Simplifying the supplementation regimens and combining calcium supplementation with food-based approaches may be necessary to improve calcium intakes.

Summary: This study evaluated NGAL values in twin pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders. The results showed that women who develop pregnancy hypertension or preeclampsia had significantly higher NGAL values compared to the control group at the first visit, and NGAL values increased throughout pregnancy.

Summary: The study showed that women of migrant origin in Finland generally have a lower risk for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational hypertension. However, women of Sub-Saharan African origin had a higher risk for preeclampsia, which may require special attention.

Summary: This study compared the risk of complications between pregnancies with donated embryos and autologous frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). The results showed that pregnancies with donated embryos had a significantly higher incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), particularly the severe forms. Additionally, the rate of C-sections was higher in donated-embryo pregnancies, while there were no significant differences in newborn outcomes between the two groups.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of hypertension disorders of pregnancy (HDP) on short- and long-term outcomes of pregnancy-associated hemorrhagic stroke (HS). The results showed no significant difference in short-term outcomes between the two groups, but patients with HDP were more likely to have poorer functional outcomes at long-term follow-up. This highlights the importance of prevention, recognition, and treatment of hypertension disorders in these women.

Summary: This review focuses on the mechanisms by which nuclear receptors mediate transcriptional responses, with a specific emphasis on the role of PPARγ in regulating blood pressure. Genetic and clinical trial data demonstrate the importance of PPARγ in hypertension, and the tissue- and cell-specific molecular mechanisms by which PPARs modulate blood pressure and related phenotypes are detailed. The role of placental PPARs in preeclampsia is also discussed, along with future research directions and implications for novel therapies.

Summary: This study found an association between uterine fibroids in early pregnancy and an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Monitoring blood pressure closely and implementing preventive measures for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are crucial for women with uterine fibroids.

Summary: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, pose significant risks to both mother and fetus. Aspirin is currently the only recommended pharmacological agent for prevention in high-risk groups, while metformin shows potential as an interesting option for prophylaxis, although further research is needed to clarify its effectiveness.

Summary: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are common among women and are associated with an increased risk of heart failure in the future. It is important to establish guidelines for risk stratification, postpartum medical care coordination, and prevention of cardiovascular disease to reduce the risk of heart failure.

Summary: Women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in later life, especially within the first 5 years postpartum. Preeclamptic women have a higher risk of CVDs compared to women with normotensive pregnancies.

Summary: The study revealed a lack of information and experience in individuals with pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders, indicating a need for improved education and counseling. Participants expressed a strong desire for enhanced communication and collaboration between themselves and healthcare providers to address complications effectively.
