Hypertension evaluation and management in new young patients: are we doing our female patients a disservice?

In 2023, women under 51 years of age seen in a tertiary care hypertension clinic received similar first-line treatment to their male peers. However, relevant female-specific histories were suboptimally documented for these patients. Whilst therapeutic approaches in men and women appear to be similar in this clinic, there are opportunities to improve CVD prevention in women, even in a specialised clinic setting.
