Pre-eclampsia and risk of subsequent hypertension: in an American Indian population.

CONCLUSIONS: PE appears to confer risk of subsequent hypertension on this cohort of American Indian women within as little as 8 years. This risk is independent of additional risk factors such as increased age, BMI, and blood pressure prior to 20 weeks of gestation. There is evidence of increased risk among those with more severe PE.
