Calcium influx and vascular reactivity in systemic hypertension.
Numerous studies have focused on functional vascular changes that characterize the hypertensive state. Recent evidence that suggests that increased vascular reactivity in hypertension is due to changes in the delivery of activator Ca++ through channels in the cell membrane will be reviewed. The primary evidence supporting this hypothesis comes from studies that characterize the effects of Ca++-...
متن کاملVascular reactivity in hypertension.
IN ESTABLISHED human hypertension, there has never been any real doubt that the baroreceptor mechanisms remain active, hut regulate the arterial pressure to a new high level. The upward setting of these baroreeeptors occurs not only in essential hypertension but also in hypertension secondary to renal disease of various sorts. There is also evidence from the effects of ganglion blocking drugs t...
متن کاملPerivascular adipose tissue, vascular reactivity and hypertension.
Most blood vessels are surrounded by a variable amount of adventitial adipose tissue, perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), which was originally thought to provide mechanical support for the vessel. It is now known that PVAT secretes a number of bioactive substances including vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), leptin, adiponectin, insulin-like growth factor, ...
متن کاملIncreased vascular reactivity in experimental hypertension.
• The etiology of essential hypertension is unknown. Its pathogenesis is also not clear, but it is generally agreed that the basic defect is an excessive resistance to blood flow due to a diminished internal caliber of arterial vessels, especially of the systemic arterioles. Implicit in this concept is the idea that a compensatory action of the heart occurs, the heart beating more forcibly so t...
متن کاملHypertension and cerebral vascular reactivity in childhood: challenge and opportunity.
See related article, pages ●●●–●●● The study of childhood origins of adult cardiovascular disease has grown dramatically in the past decade. Childhood-onset obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia confer increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in adulthood.1 The mechanisms for these relationships are incompletely understood. Even less is known about the extent to which end-or...
