Hypertension in Women

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease remains the most common cause of death in women worldwide, with hypertension being the most common modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in both sexes. Further, obesity plays a critical role in the development and management of hypertension with a disproportionate effect on minority women. Overall, gender specific differences in the pathogenesis and response to treatment of hypertension exist, and must be taken into consideration.
