On the significance of the depressive effect of pregnancy in hypertension

Abstract

As in the experiment [5, 6, 14, 15, 17], so it is in the clinic [1-4, 8-11, 13, 16, 18, 19] it has been established that pregnancy has a depressant effect on increased blood pressure. Almost all authors believe that the decrease in blood pressure is temporary. However, opinions regarding the timing of pregnancy, at which blood pressure begins to decrease, as well as the duration of this decrease are contradictory. According to D. F. Chebotarev, it occurs in the first sixteen weeks of pregnancy, according to Theobald — in the first half of pregnancy, according to other authors [1, 9, 13, 18] — from the middle of pregnancy. O. F. Matveeva, S. M. Becker, L. F. Antonov observed a decrease in blood pressure with the onset of pregnancy. The degree and duration of pressure reduction depend on the stage of development of hypertension.
