Progress Review The Common Carotid Circulation in Patients With Essential Hypertension

Based on the interpretation of several experimental investigations, the study of carotid hemodynamics in hypertension has long been restricted to the pathophysiologic problems related to high-pressure baroreceptors.Indeed, the arterial wall of the carotid bifurcation contains receptors that play a large part in the regulation of blood pressure and that are considered to be reset to higher press...

Effect of reflection of arterial pressure on carotid circulation in essential hypertension.

Pressure wave reflection plays a pivotal role in the augmentation of systolic blood pressure. In the present study, the association between reflection of pressure wave and structural and functional alteration, including blood flow, in the common carotid artery was investigated in 70 hospitalized essential hypertensive patients. The reflection of pressure was estimated by the "augmentation index...
