Sažetak

Traditional cardiovascular risk factors for target organ damage are the same in both women and men and include hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and atrial fibrillation. There are several risk factors that are specific to women, such as differences in sex hormones,
exogenous estrogens, and pregnancy. Further investigation into the sex-specific differences in therapeutic utilization and the sex-specific differences in the safety and efficacy of the therapeutic options is required.
