This paper will examine the main differences in the haemodynamic, vascular, metabolic and neurohumoral profile characterizing normotensive as well as hypertensive females as compared with age-matched males.Abstract:
Although during the past two decades there has been considerable progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology of human essential hypertension, the basic mechanisms responsible for the development and progression of the disease still remain largerly undefined. This also applies to the pathophysiology of hypertension in women, although a number of haemodynamic, vascular, metabolic and neurohumoral factors have been identified throughout the years as being characterized by a gender-specific relation. This paper will examine the main differences in the haemodynamic, vascular, metabolic and neurohumoral profile characterizing normotensive as well as hypertensive females as compared with age-matched males. Although in some instances clearcut differences between genders can be found, overall the pathophysiological picture of the hypertensive state does not seem to have significant differences in men and women, at least up to the years when the menopausal-related hormonal changes take place.read more

Hemodynamic after-effects of acute dynamic exercise in sedentary normotensive postmenopausal women.

TL;DR: In postmenopausal women, acute dynamic exercise elicits sustained increases in FMD that could facilitate post-exercise hypotension in this population, and reinforces the concept of exercise as an important non-pharmacological intervention to modify cardiovascular risk in post menopausal women.

Gender differences in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in 50-year-old Swedish men and women with hypertension born in 1953
TL;DR: At middle age, despite that fewer women had hypertension or MetS than men, hypertension carries a relatively greater risk for MetS in women than in men, and this pattern was observed for the IDF criterion of MetS.

Post exercise hypotension and blood pressure circadian rhythm in pre-hypertensive older adults
TL;DR: The inconsistent significant gender and TOD differences of PEH and its mechanisms suggest that this group of adults with pre-HT will be larger after evening versus morning exercise.
