Hypertension in pregnancy
- 1 I. interní klinika &ndash, kardiologická FN Olomouc
A pregnant hypertensive woman is not encountered in our practice every day; indeed, this issue is most commonly faced by a consulting
internist or a cardiologist. However, it has to be taken into account that even a general practitioner may face this problem in his or her practice.
He or she may encounter a woman of reproductive age he or she will treat for hypertension prior to becoming pregnant and will need to
determine how and what medication to use. The choice of an antihypertensive drug will certainly be affected by whether or not the woman is
taking a contraceptive. It is necessary to ask what the general practitioner should know about hypertension in pregnancy. We believe that the
following issues have to be addressed by the general practitioner: 1) There is a woman of reproductive age with hypertension – how will I treat
her? 2) A pregnant woman on an antihypertensive drug presents – is it possible to use this drug in pregnancy and how will I further manage
this patient? 3) Shall I treat her myself or refer her to a specialized centre? 4) The patient with hypertension has given birth, what will be next?
