In pregnant women with new‐onset hypertension starting antihypertensives, some achieve tight BP control within a week (Group 1‐blue line), while others respond slower (Group 2‐red line). Group 1 showed higher Log10PLGF levels, but Log10sFlt‐1 did not differ between groups. Over time, Log10PLGF declined in both groups, while Log10sFlt‐1 remained stable.
