Strategies targeted to optimize hypertension (HTN) control for midlife women after hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have not been studied, despite evidence of a critical need. This proposal targets the 10-20 years postpartum as a key time when women have subclinical cardiovascular (CV) sequelae of uncontrolled HTN and are primed for CV prevention interventions. Before proceeding with large-scale intervention trials of a home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and coaching intervention following HDP, further pilot testing is necessary. The overarching hypothesis of this proposal is that a new monitoring and treatment paradigm utilizing HBPM combined with a virtual coaching intervention would be better than standard of care for mid-life women with prior HDP who develop HTN. Women will be assigned in an unblinded manner to the intervention or standard of care control group.
