Hypertension and pre-eclampsia (post-partum)

Figure 25 places the handover of care at 8–12 weeks; Rec Table 23 prints the cardiovascular risk assessment 'at 3 months post-partum'. Both are shown, each with its source.
Figure 25 prints 'Re-check every 6 to 12 months (Class IIa)' after the individualized check; Rec Table 23 prints a repeat assessment at 6–12 months and 'regular long-term follow-up thereafter' (Class IIa, Level C). The figure's box is placed from the 12-month mark on its axis.
The lipid, body mass index and emotional stress rows are shown in Figure 25 only.
