Abstract

Roberts, MD, Chair; Phyllis A. August, MD, MPH; George Bakris, MD; John R. Barton, MD; Ira M. Bernstein, MD; Maurice Druzin, MD; Robert R. Gaiser, MD; Joey R Granger, PhD; Arun Jeyabalan, MD, MS; Donna D. Johnson, MD; S. Ananth Karumanchi, MD; Marshall Lindheimer, MD; Michelle Y. Owens, MD, MS; George R. Saade, MD; Baha M.

Joseph, MD; Nancy O'Reilly, MHS; Alyssa Politzer; Sarah Son, MPH; and Karina Ngaiza. The information in Hypertension in Pregnancy should not be viewed as a body of rigid rules. The guidelines are general and intended to be adapted to many different situations, taking into account the needs and resources particular to the locality, the institution, or the type of practice. Variations and innovations that improve the quality of patient care are to be encouraged rather than restricted. The purpose of these guidelines will be well served if they provide a firm basis on which local norms may be built.
