Exploring Evidence-Based Practice and Pregnancy Hypertension Models

In July 2023 and again in November 2023, we discussed the “Rule of 55“ and its role in the management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The Rule of 55 has been mainly applied in the selection of appropriate antipretensive medications when urgent/emergent hypertension is present. Does the Rule of 55 also work for antihypertensive management of gestational hypertension or preeclampsia without severe features? A new publication (April 1, 2024) from the AJOG MFM gives us that answer! In this episode, we will cover the newly released PYTT study from Italy.
