Oral Combined Hydrochlorothiazide/Lisinopril Versus Oral Nifedipine for Postpartum Hypertension (ACE)
Oral Combined Hydrochlorothiazide/Lisinopril Versus Oral Nifedipine for Postpartum Hypertension: A Comparative Effectiveness Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
In individuals with preeclampsia, persistent hypertension and edema result in part from the mobilization of up to 8 liters of fluid and sodium from the extravascular to intravascular space. The increased urinary sodium excretion on days 3-5 postpartum likely results from higher atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations in plasma and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Adding diuretics for postpartum hypertension has been associated with better blood pressure control in some of the studies.
- CVD is the leading cause for mortality worldwide.
- Primary prevention is more effective than treating CVD.
- Pregnancy is often the 1st adult engagement with the healthcare system.
- Preeclampsia is a risk factor for long term CVD, even after controlling for mutual risk factors.
- CVD is the leading cause for pregnancy related mortality.
- There is no good data regarding the optimal medications to control blood pressure after delivery.
- ACE inhibitors play an important role in controlling blood pressure outside of pregnancy and there is extensive evidence to support their cardioprotective effects.
- The optimal use of diuretics in the postpartum in patients with preeclampsia, require further study and clarification to augment current management schemes.
Hypothesis: that in postpartum women with hypertensive disorders, oral combined Hydrochlorothiazide/Lisinopril will reduce postpartum hypertension at 7 days after delivery compared to usual care with calcium channel blockers.
