Hypertension and polycythaemia rubra vera commonly occur in the same patient. This is regarded as coincidence and the hypertension does not respond to correction of polycythaemia. We report a case of renal artery stenosis occurring simultaneously with polycythaemia rubra vera and suggest that renovascular occlusive disease should be excluded in such patients with refractory hypertension.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for the cardiovascular diseases. One of the factors contributing to blood pressure is peripheral vascular resistance. Vascular stiffness plays a key role in developing the hypertension, leading to increased systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. from Avicenna s perspective, the blood pressure caused by 1- Increased blood volume 2- Warm heart dystemperame...

SINCE the work of Goldblatt, Lynch, Hanzal and Summervillle in 1934 on the production of persistent hypertension in dogs there has been sustained interest in investigating hypertensive patients from the point of view of demonstrating a renal lesion, the surgical treatment of which might lead to permanent relief of hypertension. Many lesions of the kidney have been found -to be associated with h...

Abstract Back Ground Hypertension and its cardiovascular complications as myocardial infarction are the leading causes of morbidity mortality worldwide. Reperfusion strategies current standard therapy but they result in cardiac ischemia reperfusion injury. Stem cell transplantation has emerged a promising therapeutic strategy showed many beneficial effects different medical disorders reno-vascu...

hypertension is one of the most important modifiable risk factors of vascular heart disease. control of hypertension in different age groups has a significant effect upon the control and prevention of vascular heart disease. a familial pattern is observed in the distribution of blood pressure in different societies. family history of hypertension has a profound effect on the future risk of deve...

The adaptive remodeling of cerebral arteries, including hypertrophy (medial thickening) and eutrophy (luminal narrowing), is a prominent feature of hypertension and a major risk factor for stroke.1–3 Multiple mechanisms, such as arterial smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation, migration and apoptosis, endothelial cell dysfunction, inflammation, and fibrosis, have been implicated in structural r...
