What is the long-term outcome for women who have a history of preeclampsia?

Women with a history of preeclampsia experience significant long-term health implications, particularly an increased risk of chronic hypertension. Preeclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure and damage to other organ systems, and it can serve as an early indicator of future cardiovascular issues. Research indicates that these women are more likely to develop chronic hypertension later in life compared to those without a history of preeclampsia. This underscores the importance of long-term monitoring of blood pressure and cardiovascular health in women who have had preeclampsia. Such follow-up is crucial for implementing early interventions and reducing the risk of further complications.
