What the paper says

<b>Objective:</b> Women with prior hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have increased risk of developing future cardiovascular disease. The objective of this scoping review was to map the literature regarding the use of eHealth measures in cardiovascular follow-up after HDP and identify research gaps. <b>Methods:</b> A systematic search was conducted in four databases. Primary research articles and guidelines were included. Abstract screening, full-text assessment and data extraction was performed to summarize the findings. <b>Results:</b> The search identified 4830 articles and 12 guidelines. Eleven publications and one guideline were included in the analyses. Various eHealth interventions were assessed, such as remote blood pressure monitoring, physical activity and weight management, with follow-up time from 6 weeks to 4 years. eHealth interventions targeting blood pressure and physical activity showed statistically significant positive effects. <b>Conclusion:</b> The scoping review identified eHealth interventions for cardiovascular follow-up after HDP that may empower women to optimize their cardiovascular health.
