We were able to show that counselling concerning the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease and risk of recurrence after a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome has been established in obstetric departments in public hospitals. Regarding the evaluation of underlying chronic diseases such as thrombophilia or renal disease, as well as counselling on the future risk of renal disease is still improvable according to our data. Further evaluation of follow-up care after hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the outpatient and private sector and implementation of structured guidelines for follow-up, as well as screening for cardiovascular disease are necessary to ensure adequate risk management and to provide opportunities for prevention.
