Hypertension remains one of the commonest cardiovascular risks. 1 However, both provision and uptake of screening as well as subsequent availability of advice about how to control elevated blood pressure remain poor. 2 This can exacerbate health inequalities for certain groups including women, who often first present very early in life with hypertension during pregnancy, 3 and ethnic groups, who appear to suffer higher rates of hypertension-related complications. 2 Into this clinical paradigm, Elghazaly et al. 4 have now published an extensive exploration of cardiac phenotypes associated with hypertension in the UK Biobank imaging study taking into account both sex and ethnicity. Cardiovascular risk in those with hypertension is augmented if there is also evidence of cardiac or vascular remodelling. 2 Failure to account for progression of underlying end organ disease may be leading to under treatment of disease state while missing an opportunity to provide more personalized care to groups at risk. 3, 5 UK Biobank is a unique data resource, openly available to researchers, providing large-scale data on health and illness, within the UK. 6 The sample comprises of 500 000 participants, over the age of 45 years at first involvement, of which 100 000 are currently undergoing multiorgan imaging. 6 Around 40 000 imaging data sets are currently available for research including cardiac and vascular magnetic resonance 7 from which Elghazaly et al. 4 have compiled an impressive set of qualitycontrolled metrics. A combination of analysis techniques has been deployed including deep-learning–based automated image analysis that covers chamber sizes, functional measures, including strain, and myocardial characteristics such as T1 mapping. 8–10 Furthermore, through careful use of linkage between UK Biobank data and primary care records, an in-depth clinical picture of hypertension management has been developed. 6With approximately 40 000 participants, this is the one of the largest studies in the literature addressing hypertensive cardiac phenotypes. The data structure, including a significant heterogeneity in demographic and lifestyle characteristics, as well as a high prevalence of conditions, has enabled a detailed associative analysis. Of course, the data are not perfect. Ninety-seven per cent of participants were of a White ethnicity, with an average age at imaging of 64 years, which limits
