Abstract
The value of individual risk factors and especially arterial hypertension in the process of atherothrombosis differs significantly considering genders.

Recognizing and preventing future major cardiovascular events depends on specific risk factors in women. The current published guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension are only marginally concerning this issue, since we still do not fully understand the pathophysiological connections in women (lit. 40).
