Heart Health 4 New Moms: First Year After Preeclampsia
common.study.values.description
“Heart Health 4 New Moms: A Randomized Trial in the First Year After Preeclampsia”
Preeclampsia causes devastating maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality with a high recurrence risk and a rapid, occult progression to cardiovascular disease after delivery. There is a critical need for effective interventions to reduce these risks. This is a pilot randomized controlled trial of a novel postpartum lifestyle intervention compared to women who take home blood pressure measurements and women with usual care who are overweight and obese in the first year after preeclampsia. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will lead to improved weight loss and blood pressure in the first year postpartum, which has broad implications for future pregnancy and long-term cardiovascular health.

Each participant will receive 1:1 training by the project staff in all aspects of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM). Throughout the study, they will be asked to monitor home blood pressures for the first week of each month with Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure cuffs.
Behavioral - Heart Health 4 New Moms
The intervention is comprised of four key components: (1) The online curriculum consists of 12 modules on healthy eating and physical activity adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program and specifically targeting postpartum women. (2) Self-monitoring and tracking program, in which participants will be provided with a Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure cuff and digital scale and will be provided real-time feedback on their blood pressure and weight trends. (3) A registered dietitian will act as a ...read more on ClinicalTrials.org
Usual care
Participants will be counseled on routine postpartum care and will receive additional information on cardiovascular risk following preeclampsia as well as information on support groups and registries as well as online resources for lifestyle modification.
