Abstract

It is still not well known the prognostic cardiovascular value of 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in the pregnant woman with hypertension.


Objectives: Assess to the prognostic value of ABPM parameters in predicting maternofetal event.


Methods: Retrospective and observational study which included 166 pregnant women.


Results: The authors found that the night time DBP was the best predictor of adverse events. Non-dipper profile had worse survival at follow up until delivery compared to those with a dipper profile.


Conclusions: ABPM is a tool for pregnant with HT because this is the unique method available that analyses the night blood pressure.
