Hypertension often results in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) defined as a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although in animals the LVH can be prevented by pharmacology therapy, in man LVH can be reduced only to a limited extend. Moreover, if the therapy is not applied in a precise developmental windows, the results may be subtle or none. It is evident that gender differences could play also signifiant role
