Hypertension is a chronic condition and a leading risk factor for the development of cardiovascular (CV) events, which are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1–4 CV events create a significant clinical management and economic burden, and are a major cause of hospitalisation and physician visits.5 The burden associated with CV events may be alleviated by treating hypertension,…

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in both men and women, yet the extent of the problem in women is frequently underestimated and, compared with men, women are less likely to be offered interventions, are less likely to be represented in clinical trials and have a worse prognosis. This article aims to examine the extent of the problem of CVD in women, summarise the…
