The article discusses the need for improved recognition and promotion of women's health in relation to cardiovascular risk and hypertension. Efforts have been made to increase the participation of women in medical research and incorporate gender and sex analyses into research projects. It highlights the importance of addressing gender-specific health problems and the misconceptions and lack of awareness surrounding cardiovascular diseases in women. The article also emphasizes the underrepresentation of women in clinical trials and the need for sex-specific diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up strategies. Overall, there is a call for a change in perspective and greater consideration of gender aspects in women's health. [Extracted from the article]
