Hypertension can persist from pregnancy or present de novo in the postpartum period and continue to pose a risk to maternal well-being. These risks are magnified as many patients present after hospital discharge and go unrecognized because of decreased medical surveillance after delivery. Guidelines for the management of postpartum hypertension are lacking, often resulting in imprecise diagnoses and incorrect treatment strategies. As hypertension specialists are called upon to provide advice to obstetricians regarding the management of hypertension in the postpartum period, it becomes important for the hypertension specialist to develop expertise in the evaluation and treatment of hypertensive women during the postpartum period. The purpose of this clinical review article is to provide an approach to the management of postpartum hypertension.
