Abstract

Multiple studies show a link between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk.1 No clear best practices for transitions of care exist for women after birth. Failing to discuss the future CVD risk associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and the potential need for further follow-up care means women and their healthcare team may miss important opportunities to intervene early and prevent significant CVD later in life. Our objectives are to understand which care team(s) educate patients regarding the association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and future CVD risk, which care team(s) follow patients in the first year after birth hospitalization, and how patient engagement with a multi-disciplinary co-located team at the OHSU Center for Women's Health affects these outcomes.
