Co-relation of Pregnancy induced Hypertension with Placental Abruption and effect of antihypertensive therapy.
Rawal Med J Jan ;30(2):59-61.

Objective: To co-rrelate clinically Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) with abruption and to see the effect of antihypertensive therapy. Methods: Fifty pregnant women with PIH and 50 normotensive pregnant women with singleton pregnancy at gestational age more than 20 weeks were studied. Clinical evaluation consisted of a comprehensive history and antenatal record. All deliveries were planned in Holy Family Hospital (HFH). Results: Out of 50 cases, abruption was seen in 4(8%) patients who did not receive treatment while no abruption was seen in treated group. Conclusions: There is a significant clinical correlation between PIH and abruptio placentae. By controlling BP one can overcome the abruption and its consequences to some extent.
