[Hypertension in women].
There are some differences between hypertension in men and women. For example, female sex hormones protect against the development of essential hypertension in premenopausal women.

Essential hypertension in postmenopausal women may be categorized for common disease in many cases. In this article, I show some datas and my comments about female hypertension for mainly daily therapeutic observation.
