Chronic Hypertension and Pregnancy (CHAP) Trial Maternal Follow-up Study

Brief description of study

This is a long-term follow up of participants enrolled in the CHAP trial during a 5-year window starting between 0-6 years until 5-10 years after their participation in the original CHAP trial. The goal is to determine whether treatment of mild CHTN in pregnancy influences maternal risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to evaluate the long-term effect of superimposed preeclampsia on CVD outcomes in women who had CHTN.
