Remote Postpartum Blood Pressure Monitoring and Cardiovascular Education

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if patient education and regular text reminders are a feasible intervention to engage patients and reduce post partum hypertension. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a structured postpartum remote blood pressure monitoring intervention with education and individualized medication initiation/adjustment follow-up by televisit feasible? Does a structured program reduce the occurrence of postpartum hypertension, ED visits, hospital readmissions, and adverse outcomes? Participants will: View an educational video on HDP post-delivery Receive 1-2 times daily text messages for 6 weeks postpartum Have their blood pressure medications adjusted to lower targets post partum

Conditions
