abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess several indexes of cardiovascular risk in men and women with moderate to severe hypertension. We found that women with moderate and severe hypertension have lower ambulatory blood pressure and less cardiac hypertrophy than men with similar clinic blood pressure.
