10. Hypertension can be seen as a Risk Factor in SDTM Medical History for a specific clinical study A CRF (Case Report Form) asks whether or not the subject had any of a list of 4 specific risk factors, including hypertension, and there is a space for the investigator to write in other risk factors. In SDTM this is classified as a Medical History and below is an example on row 7 describing how a (sligfhly simplified) record in a MH domain could look like Example from CDISC SDTM Implementation Guideline version 3.1.2
