Diagnosis of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

Dec. 14, 2021

Overview

Wendy M. White, M.D., a specialist in Maternal and Fetal Medicine at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Minnesota and the director of perinatology services at Olmsted Medical Center, and Yvonne S. Butler Tobah, an obstetrician at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, review an article they authored and published in the December 2018 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The paper presents an algorithm they developed that proved more effective in diagnosing hypertension in pregnant women, a condition that has longer term ramifications than previously thought.
