Treatment of severe hypertension during pregnancy : we still do not know what the best option is

Intracranial hemorrhage and stroke are primary causes of maternal mortality in pregnancies affected by hypertensive disorders. As such antihypertensive therapy plays a crucial role in the management of severe hypertension. However, the target level to achieve the best outcome for both - mother and fetus - is still unclear. Moreover, given the lack of well-designed randomized controlled trials with standardized key outcomes, the current choice of antihypertensive medications depends rather on clinicians' preference. Furthermore, data on long-term outcomes of offspring is not available. Therefore, there is an urgent need for randomized trials comparing different anti-hypertensive options to address efficacy and safety questions.
