MOPP & PP BP Control

More than 60% of maternal deaths occur during the postpartum period, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a major, preventable driver of that statistic. For too long, the transition from labor and delivery to home has been a vulnerable blind spot—leading to high rates of avoidablereadmissions. But the landscape has shifting. In this episode, we are diving deep into why OB providers must optimize blood pressure control before and after postpartum discharge. We’ll be breaking down the landmark 2025 MOPP study, which shook up our traditional targets by examining tight versus standard blood pressure control, alongside the recently released May 2026 ACC Expert ConsensusDecision Pathway.What is the actual "goal BP" for a safe postpartum discharge?
