Abstract:
The basis for the treatment of hypertension in women has evolved in step with the inclusion of women in studies of treatment in hypertension. Recent outcome trials comparing angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, or calcium antagonists with diuretics and beta-blockers in older, high-risk patients have generally shown similar benefits for women and men. The current evidence therefore indicates that sex should not play a role in decisions about whether to treat hypertension or about the choice of agents.
