Important areas of knowledge are still beyond our grasp, yet this new look at hypertensive diseases of pregnancy could allow us all to move beyond the present standstill in prevention and therapy. Lectures and discussions will focus on maternal cardiovascular physiology, structured evidences of new diagnostic tools, possible new therapies.
