Hypertension—the chronic elevation of blood pressure—is a major human health problem.
In most cases, the root cause of the disease remains unknown, but there is mounting …

The role of the autonomic nervous system in the genesis and maintenance of hypertension
is becoming clearer with time. Early research suggested that increased vascular resistance …

Although the importance of sympathetic nervous activation in the pathogenesis of essential
hypertension is well documented, the exact pathophysiology of the sympathetic nervous …

Evidences collected in the past few years have strengthened the concept that the
sympathetic nervous system plays a primary role in the development and progression of the …

New ideas about the relative importance of the autonomic nervous system (and especially
its sympathetic arm) in long‐term blood pressure regulation are emerging. It is well known …

For the past three decades, the renin-angiotensin system has been the major focus in high
blood pressure research. The proven value of antihypertensive drugs that block this system …

Objective: To test whether the activation of the sympathetic nervous system that is common
in essential hypertension derives from subcortical noradrenergic neuronal excitation. Design …

ran was both a brilliant scientist and one of the founding fathers in the field of hypertension
research, but I am particularly gratified to join the list of superb scientists who have preceded …

Evidence assembled in this review indicates that sympathetic nervous system dysfunction is
crucial in the development of heart failure and essential hypertension. This takes the form of …

Elevated sympathetic activity changes renal function and accelerates the development of
hypertension. Principles of sympatho-renal interactions in chronic hypertension are …
