title: Gender dimorphism in cardiac adaptation to hypertension is unveiled by prior treatment and efficacy.
abstract: The gender dimorphism in cardiac remodeling, previously recognized in primary hypertension, is unveiled in the group of patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite medical therapy. Prior antihypertensive treatment and its efficacy should be considered in population studies designed to evaluate the impact of left ventricular hypertrophy or its regression.
