Chronic hypertension in pregnancy.
Chronic hypertension in pregnancy is associated with significant potential risks to both mother and baby. The risks can be reduced to, or even below those of the general population by appropriate and adequate therapy. This requires close supervision and maintenance of excellent blood pressure control and should involve in therapeutic decisions, not only the obstetrician, but also the physician and neonatologist. In our own experience this is best achieved by a specialised unit approach to the problem.
