©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Hypertensive cardiovascular risk is less in women than men Approximate 10 year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) per 100 patients according to severity of hypertension, the number of risk factors, age, and gender. The cardiovascular risk increases with the degree of hypertension, the number of risk factors and age and, when these three factors are equivalent, is substantially less in women. * Treatment is indicated in individuals with sustained average blood pressures above 170/100 even if they might have low absolute risk.
