Etiology of essential hypertension.
It is not possible to understand the etiology of hypertension without considering the role of inheritance. Epidemiological evidence indicates that the development of high blood pressure in the population at large depends on the interaction of different types of genes and several environmental influences. The sources of genetic variation in blood pressure distribution are polygenes, polymorphic ...
متن کاملEssential hypertension. Part I: definition and etiology.
Essential hypertension remains a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) despite important advances in our understanding of its pathophysiology and the availability of effective treatment strategies. High blood pressure (BP) increases the risk of CVD for millions of people worldwide, and there is evidence that the problem is only getting worse. In the past decade, age-adju...
متن کاملIs renin a factor in the etiology of essential hypertension?
The widespread clinical study of converting-enzyme inhibitors has shown that they are effective antihypertensive drugs even in patients who may manifest either normal or decreased plasma renin activity. This suggests either that renin in a site other than plasma may play a contributory role in essential hypertension or that the hypotensive effect is caused by increased concentrations of kinins ...
متن کاملCurrent Concepts concerning the Etiology of Essential Hypertension.
S ince hypertension was identified as a distinct disease at the turn of the century, there have been many occasions when it seemed likely that its cause had been found, but each time it has proved illusory, and at present no one theory seems more promising than another. Some investigators indeed believe that ultimately the disease will be attributed to multiple interrelated factors as expressed...
متن کاملEssential Hypertension: An Approach to Its Etiology and Neurogenic Pathophysiology
Essential hypertension, a rise in blood pressure of undetermined cause, includes 90% of all hypertensive cases and is a highly important public health challenge that remains, however, a major modifiable cause of morbidity and mortality. This review emphasizes that, from an evolutionary point of view, we are adapted to ingest and excrete <1 g of sodium (2.5 g of salt) per day and that essential ...
