FOGSI EEBR 2025: Ethical Evidence-Based Recommendations: Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy

Written in association with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI), and with contributions from a multitude of recognised experts led by FOGSI (2025-2026) president Sunita Tandulwadkar; the Ethical Evidence-based Recommendations (EEBR) series provides clinicians with the latest updates and advances in the field, with each book focusing on a different subspecialty.Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is when the force of blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high. This damages arteries and can lead to serious complications such as heart attack and stroke. Hypertension during pregnancy carries potential risks to both mother and baby, including reduction of blood flow to the placenta, pre-eclampsia, and prematurity; and therefore requires close antenatal monitoring.This book examines the diagnosis and management of hypertension in pregnancy, beginning with essential definitions, terminology, classifications, epidemiology and risk factors. The following chapters provide in depth coverage of pre-eclampsia, explaining its diagnosis, management, associated conditions, and potential complications.Other titles in the series include:Antenatal Fetal SurveillanceEndometriosisFibroidsGenetics in Obstetrics and GynecologyHyperglycaemia in PregnancyInduction of LaborPolycystic Ovary SyndromePostpartum HemorrhagePreterm Labor
