Current evidence focuses mainly on hypertensive disorders that develop in the antenatal and intrapartum period, while hypertension in the postpartum period is a contentious and poorly managed area. The authors outline what is known about the incidence, risk factors, optimal management and implications of postnatal hypertensive disorders. Copyright © 2007 Wiley Interface Ltd
