More than 56 million women in the United States have hypertension, including almost one in five women of reproductive age. The prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is on the rise, putting more women at risk for adverse pregnancy-related outcomes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease later in life. Hypertension can be better detected and controlled in women throughout their life course by supporting self-measured blood pressure monitoring. In this study, we present some potential strategies for strengthening our nation's ability to address hypertension in women focusing on pregnancy-related considerations for self-measured blood pressure monitoring.
