It is generally defined as an elevation of systolic and/or diastolic arterial blood pressure, which is 120/80 mm Hg in normal situation. A value of 140/90 mm is generally accepted as the upper limit of normotension. Hypertension with certain risk factors such as hypercholes terolemia, diabetes, smoking and a family history of vascular disease pre disposes to arteriosclerosis and consequent cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The treatment of hypertension leads to reduced risk of hyperten sive renal failure, haemorrhagic stroke, myocardial infarction and cardiac failure. In most cases, the cause of the hypertension can not be clearly defined. Such hypertension is termed as essential hypertension. In a few cases (5- 15%), the hypertension is secondary to definable causes, such as renal artery stenosis, a pheochromocytoma, or an endocrine disorder. This type of hyper tension is known as secondary hypertenSion. Although the exact etiology of essential hypertension is still not well known, the following factors are sup posed to play causative roles. | 出版日期 | Book 1999 | 关键词 | cardiovascular disease; diseases; drug; drug research; mortality; research | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-8735-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-0348-9749-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-0348-8735-9Series ISSN 0071-786X Series E-ISSN 2297-4555 | issn_series | 0071-786X | copyright | Springer Basel AG 1999 |
