Pregnant and postpartum women are dying in record numbers from chronic high blood pressure, MedicineNet reports.<\/p>\n
Specifically, blood pressure-related causes of death multiplied by a factor of 15 over a 39-year period. Black women were affected three to four times as much, the study found.<\/p>\n
While deaths due to preeclampsia actually fell during that same time period, study authors explained that deaths due to chronic high blood pressure increased, with one-third occurring before delivery, a third the day of delivery or the week following and one-third occurring one week to a year after.<\/p>\n
