Treatment of Mild Chronic Hypertension during Pregnancy
Pregnant women with mild chronic hypertension were randomly assigned to receive medication targeting a normal blood pressure (<140/90 mm Hg) or to receive no treatment unless severe hypertension (>160/105 mm Hg) developed. The incidence of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes was significantly lower in the active-treatment group, without an increase in low birth weight.
