Is central nitric oxide essential in hypertension?
It is becoming increasingly evident that central nervous system nitric oxide (NO) may be an important contributor to the development of hypertension in light of its centrally-mediated sympatho-inhibitory actions [1–3]. In this issue of the journal, Ferrari and Fior-Chadi [4] investigate the role of central neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the development of hypertension using the sponta...
متن کاملEssential Hypertension
The relationship of serum dopamine-(-hydroxylase (DBH), plasma renin activity (PRA) and urinary catecholamines (IU catechols) in various forms of essential hypertension (EHT) (low, normal and high renin) was evaluated. Eighty-four predominantly white, young (37 ± 8 years (SD)), mildly hypertensive patients (diastolic pressure 93 ± 4 mm Hg (SD)) continued their regular diet and received no medic...
متن کاملEssential hypertension.
Hypertension is a frequent, chronic, age-related disorder, which often entails debilitating cardiovascular and renal complications. Blood pressure is usually noted in combination with other cardiovascular risk factors. Diagnosis of hypertension increasingly relies on automated techniques of blood pressure measurement. The pathophysiology of essential hypertension depends on the primary or secon...
متن کاملEssential Hypertension
The effects of circadian blood pressure (BP) changes on the echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy were investigated in 235 consecutive subjects (137 unselected untreated patients with essential hypertension and 98 healthy normotensive subjects) who underwent 24-hour noninvasive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and crosssectional and M-mode echocardiography...
متن کاملMicroalbuminuria in essential hypertension.
The prevalence and significance of microalbuminuria is not well elucidated in patients with essential hypertension. In newly detected hypertension, its prevalence ranges between 23 and 37% and albuminuria is usually well correlated with the level of arterial pressure. Interestingly, albuminuria is enhanced in overweight hypertensive patients. Antihypertensive treatment has variable influence on...
