Pregnancy provides a window of opportunity for management of hypertension care. Particularly in the postpartum period - the so-called "4th trimester" - individuals of Black race are at increased risk for hypertension-related morbidity and mortality. Telehealth interventions, such as remote blood pressure monitoring programs and virtual postpartum visits, can reduce racial disparities in the delivery of recommended care. System and policy changes can address social factors that impact postpartum care as well. Cardiovascular clinicians have a key role to play in managing hypertension and addressing cardiovascular disease prevention strategies during reproductive years.
怀孕为高血压护理管理提供了一个机会窗口。特别是在产后时期——即所谓的“第四孕期”——黑人个体患高血压相关发病和死亡的风险增加。远程医疗干预措施，如远程血压监测项目和虚拟产后访视，可以减少推荐护理提供过程中的种族差异。系统和政策变革也可以解决影响产后护理的社会因素。心血管临床医生在管理高血压以及在生殖年龄段实施心血管疾病预防策略方面发挥着关键作用。
