Key result
Hypertension was a definite factor in causing coronary occlusion among 100 women, but did not appear to be a factor among 500 men in a study of patients under 65 years of age.

Does hypertension contribute to the causation of coronary disease and occlusion in men and women under 65 years of age?
This historical study suggested that hypertension is a causative factor for coronary occlusion in women under 65, but not in men.
Arthur M. Mastér (1953) conducted an observational in Coronary occlusion (n=600). Hypertension was evaluated on Coronary disease and occlusion. Hypertension was a definite factor in causing coronary occlusion among 100 women, but did not appear to be a factor among 500 men in a study of patients under 65 years of age.
