title: Home monitoring of blood pressure in pregnancy at high risk of pre-eclampsia.
abstract: The early detection of pre-eclampsia is a major challenge in obstetric care. We report a case where pre-eclampsia was detected by home blood pressure monitoring between routine antenatal visits. This novel management approach allows early diagnosis and optimises antenatal care in fulminating disease.
