[The role of neurohormonal mechanisms in the etiopathogenesis of essential hypertension]. / Poglady na udzial mechanizmów neurohormonalnych w etiopatogenezie pierwotnego nadcisnienia tetniczego.

ABSTRACT

Outcomes of recently published studies showed that cause of primary hypertension may lay in dysregulation of one of physiological mechanisms. Accordingly to current knowledge one can state that disturbance of every of these mechanisms results in cascade of changes in function of sympathetic and endocrine systems with special impact in renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Better understanding of mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of primary hypertension is crucial in development of such a treatment that not only reduces blood pressure but also prevents cardiovascular complications of hypertension.
