Target Organ Damage in Hypertension
This special issue is related to the main concern in hyper-tensive disease: the target-organ damage. The selected papers approach some aspects of renal and cerebral disease associated to hypertension but the principal focus is on the arterial vessel as the main organ involved in hypertensive patients. Although hypertensive cardiopathy is not specifically included in this issue, the heart diseas...
متن کاملTarget Organ Damage in Essential Hypertension
Epidemiological data suggests that hypertension remains a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in Western countries. The prevalence of the disease among adults in Slovenia aged 25–64 years is between 40–50% (CINDI, 2006). The early detection and severity of typical target organ damage and secondary diseases are key determinants of cardiovascular prognosis in patients sufferin...
متن کاملHypertension Highlights Immunology in Hypertension, Preeclampsia, and Target-Organ Damage
Hypertension generally brings to mind hemodynamic mechanisms, increased peripheral vascular resistance, the laws of Ohm or Hagen-Poisseule, and perhaps targetorgan damage mediated through acceleration of atherosclerosis, vasculitis, or other concomitant processes. However, innate and acquired adaptive cellular or even antibodymediated immunity plays an active role in the pathogenesis of hyperte...
متن کاملNew insights into target organ involvement in hypertension.
Hypertension and its sequelae are complex processes. Optimization of the care of the hypertensive patient requires not only attention to the regulation of arterial pressure but also attention to blunting the hypertension-related processes that lead to vascular disease. It is clear that the regulation of these processes is much more complex than previously understood. Here several new insights i...
متن کاملCentral hemodynamics and target organ damage in hypertension.
Recent advances in technology have enabled the noninvasive evaluation of pulsatile hemodynamics in the central aorta; namely, central pressure and flow measurements. The central blood pressure represents the true load imposed on the heart, kidney and brain, and the central blood flow influences the local flow into these vital organs. An elevation of the central blood pressure has a direct, adve...
