Abstract
Background: Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDIP) are among the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality and should not be reserved for specialist care and expertise.1 General practitioners (GPs) are inevitably involved in the care of women with HDIP, particularly in the preconception, early pregnancy and postpartum periods and, also, as shared maternity care providers. It is, therefore, critical that GPs can assess and manage HDIP.
Objective: This article aims to provide GPs with a practical approach to the diagnosis and management of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, including postpartum monitoring and ongoing cardiovascular risk surveillance.
Discussion: The spectrum of HDIP includes gestational hypertension, chronic hypertension, pre-eclampsia (PET)/eclampsia and PET superimposed on chronic (pre-existing) hypertension, and this can affect up to 8-10% of pregnant women.
期刊介绍：
The Australian Journal of General Practice (AJGP) aims to provide relevant, evidence-based, clearly articulated information to Australian general practitioners (GPs) to assist them in providing the highest quality patient care, applicable to the varied geographic and social contexts in which GPs work and to all GP roles as clinician, researcher, educator, practice team member and opinion leader. All articles are subject to peer review before they are accepted for publication.
