The physiological course of pregnancy requires profound hemodynamic adaptation in the mother. While hypertension receives significant clinical attention, arterial hypotension is often overlooked, affecting 2% to 4% of pregnant women worldwide. Low blood pressure is frequently regarded as a variant of the norm, despite evidence linking it to fetal growth restriction (FGR) and preterm birth. In transition economies like Uzbekistan, this issue is exacerbated by the lack of unified monitoring protocols. This study aims to analyze the pathophysiological consequences of hypoperfusion and develop preventive strategies to optimize perinatal outcomes.
