Increasingly, primary hypertension is being considered a syndrome and not a disease, with
the individual causes (diseases) having a common sign—an elevated blood pressure. To …

Some patients with essential hypertension manifest greater than normal urinary albumin
excretion (UAE). The significance of this association, which is the object of this review, is not …

Recent studies have indicated that acute inhibition of nitric oxide biosynthesis in the rat
promotes arterial hypertension and renal vasoconstriction. We evaluated the renal and …

Four major natriuretic peptides have been isolated: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain
natriuretic peptide (BNP), C‐type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and Dendroaspis‐type …

Pulse pressure and isolated systolic hypertension: Association with microalbuminuria.
Background The long-term risk of end-stage renal disease is high in persons with isolated …

In a double-blind controlled trial. 91 middle-aged and elderly women with mild to moderate
hypertension who were not on antihypertensive medication were randomly assigned to …

α-Adducin polymorphisms and renal sodium handling in essential hypertensive patients.
The relationship between blood pressure and sodium (Na) excretion is less steep in …

Our long-term objective is to identify genes whose expression results in hypertension and in
phenotypic changes that may contribute to hypertension. The purpose of the present study …

The kidney is probably critically involved in the development of essential hypertension, as in
many genetic models of hypertension. We have investigated whether a narrowed renal …

Various neural, hormonal, and hemodynamic mechanisms interact to achieve efficient
regulation of arterial pressure by responding to different extrinsic disturbances capable of …
