Summary of thesis:

Hypertension is responsible for more than 20% of female deaths, and uterine fibroids (UFs) may be a risk factor for its development. The mechanism of development of hypertension associated with UFs remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the association between UFs and HTN, and the potential mechanism of development of HTN associated with UFs.
