AB  - Hypertension  is  a  common  medical  disorder  that  affects  29.1%  of  adults  in  the  United  States  and  complicates  as  many  as  10%  of  all  pregnancies.  Hypertensive  disorders  of  pregnancy  rank  among  the  leading  causes  of  maternal  morbidity  and  mortality.  There  are  approximately  50,000–60,000  preeclampsia  deaths  per  year  worldwide,  and  preeclampsia  accounted  for  9.4%  of  maternal  deaths  in  the  United  States  between  2006  and  2010.  Severe  hypertension  increases  the  mother’s  risk  of  heart  attack,  cardiac  failure,  cerebral  vascular  accidents,  and  renal  failure.  The  fetus  and  neonate  also  are  at  increased  risk  from  complications  such  as  poor  placental  insufficiency,  fetal  growth  restriction,  preterm  birth,  placental  abruption,  stillbirth,  and  neonatal  death.
