DIAGNOSIS
• Meta-analyses have shown the superiority of ambulatory
blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) to in-office BP
measurements in diagnosing hypertension and predicting
cardiovascular outcomes (cardiovascular death, stroke,
and cardiac/coronary events).

Weight loss Weight/body fat Best goal is ideal body weight, but aim -5 mm Hg -2/3 mm Hg
for at least a 1-kg reduction in body
weight for most adults who are
overweight. Expect about 1 mm Hg for
every 1-kg reduction in body weight.

MANAGEMENT OF HYPERTENSION IN PREGNANCY
• Low-dose aspirin (100–150 mg daily) is recommended in women at
high or moderate risk of pre-eclampsia from week 12 to weeks 36–
37
• In women with gestational hypertension or pre-existing
hypertension superimposed by gestational hypertension, or with
hypertension and subclinical organ damage or symptoms, initiation
of drug treatment is recommended at SBP >140 mmHg or DBP >90
mmHg.
• In all other cases, initiation of drug treatment is recommended if
SBP >_150 mmHg or DBP >_95 mmHg.
• SBP >_170 mmHg or DBP >_110 mmHg in a pregnant woman is an
emergency, and hospitalization is recommended.
• Methyldopa , labetalol , and calcium antagonists are
recommended for the treatment of hypertension in pregnancy.
MANAGEMENT OF HYPERTENSION IN
PREGNANCY
• In women with gestational hypertension or mild pre-
eclampsia, delivery is recommended at 37 weeks.
• It is recommended to expedite delivery in pre-eclampsia
and with adverse conditions such as visual disturbances
or haemostatic disorders.
• In pre-eclampsia associated with pulmonary oedema,
nitroglycerin given as an intravenous infusion is
recommended.
• In severe hypertension, drug treatment with
intravenous labetalol, or oral methyldopa or nifedipine,
is recommended.
KEY POINTS
• Hypertension rates are higher in women than men over
the age of 65.
• Despite differences in CV risk factor profiles, there are
limited data on sex and gender specific screening
strategies for hypertension.
• Postmenopausal women are more likely to exhibit a non-
dipping pattern of BP, which is described as a <10% drop
in nocturnal BP which is related to poor CV outcomes and
target organ damage, especially in older women
compared to men
KEY POINTS
• Results from Blood Pressure Lowering Treatment
Trialists' Collaboration, suggest a greater percentage
of stroke among hypertensive women compared to
men, whereas a higher percentage of coronary
heart disease and heart failure was observed among
men compared to women.
• Treatment targets are not sex-specific using similar
cut-offs for men and women, showed no differences
in CV outcomes(META-ANALYSIS)
KEY POINTS
• There is currently no substantial evidence for
differential effects of antihypertensive therapy
based on gender.
• One meta-analysis suggests that calcium
channel blockers may be more beneficial in
women than ACE inhibitors for stroke
prevention.
