Ten percent of women worldwide experience high
blood pressure during pregnancy [1]. One of its leading
causes is pregnancy induced hypertension, defined as
systolic blood pressure $140 and/or diastolic blood pressure
$90 appearing after 20 weeks of gestation in a previously
normotensive patient. Pregnancy induced hypertension
(PIH) complicates about 6% of pregnancies and
its prevalence is constantly rising [2]. Not only PIH, but
every hypertension disorder in pregnancy increases the
risk of both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
