Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy

  • Preeclampsia accounts for 70% of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy.

Diagnostic Criteria for Hypertension in Preeclampsia

  • Blood pressure ≥140 mmHg systolic or ≥90 mmHg diastolic on two occasions at least 4 hours apart.

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

  • MAP formula: (Systolic Blood Pressure + 2 x Diastolic Blood Pressure) / 3.
  • A rise in MAP ≥ 10 mmHg is considered diagnostic for preeclampsia.
