Feasibility and Acceptability of Risk Stratification in the Fourth Trimester to Reduce Maternal Morbidity and Mortality

Aims: 1. To evaluate the feasibility, fidelity, and acceptability of home blood pressure monitoring in postpartum patients (n=90) with HDP. The investigators hypothesize that remote blood pressure monitoring will be feasible, implemented as intended, and acceptable among patients, physicians, and other health care workers to improve awareness and early diagnosis of elevated blood pressures (\>140/90 mm Hg) in postpartum patients with HDP. 2. To evaluate the association between N Terminal-proBNP (NT-proBNP) levels and short-term cardiovascular outcomes (i.e., all-cause cardiovascular hospital readmission, postpartum pre-eclampsia, hypertensive urgency/emergency, stroke, heart failure/pulmonary edema, seizure and mortality at 12-weeks postpartum) in patients with HDP.
