The degree of arterial hypertension was determined by criteria of the "Goith National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure" (2003) and "The National High Blood Pressure Education Program Working Group on High Blood Pressure in Pregnancy" (2001). Trial proved efficacy of all variants of antihypertensive therapy with usage of retard forms of nifedipine, modipine and combination of nifedipine with other antihypertensive drugs.
