Hypertensive disease in pregnancy represents a significant health problem in the world, and ranks second only to thromboembolism as a cause of maternal mortality in the USA. In addition, hypertension is associated with both perinatal morbidity and mortality secondary to direct effects on the fetus as well as the iatrogenic preterm deliveries performed for maternal indications. Conventional (office, mercury column or aneroid manometry) blood pressure measurement is the most common screening test performed during prenatal visits. During the past several years, investigators have focused on the use of 24-h ambulatory and automated self (or home) blood pressure monitoring during pregnancy. This review article summarizes the current literature on both ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring in pregnancy and how they relate to various clinical aspects of hypertension in pregnancy.
妊娠期高血压疾病是全球一个重大的健康问题，在美国，它是导致孕产妇死亡的第二大原因，仅次于血栓栓塞。此外，高血压与围产期发病率和死亡率相关，这是由于其对胎儿的直接影响以及因母体指征而进行的医源性早产。传统的（诊室、汞柱式或无液式血压计）血压测量是产前检查中最常用的筛查测试。在过去几年中，研究人员一直专注于孕期24小时动态血压监测和自动自我（或家庭）血压监测的应用。这篇综述文章总结了目前关于孕期动态血压监测和家庭血压监测的文献，以及它们与妊娠期高血压疾病各个临床方面的关系。
