Abstract
This presentation is an attempt to discover if there is a different rate of occurrence of high blood pressure in pregnancy in Canada (using the figures from the province of Alberta) compared with Britain and the USA. I point out at the outset that the Canadian figures have been obtained retrospectively and are crude at best, but useful for a rough comparison. It has been my own clinical impression from 14 years in Canada that the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy is much less than my previous clinical experience in Scotland.
