The Sympathetic Nervous System in Hypertension
The Sympathetic Nervous System in Hypertension
It has been clearly shown that adrenergic tone has a primary role in blood pressure control due to the regulatory effects on cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance. Several mechanisms, both at central and peripheral levels, participate in this control exerted by the sympathetic nervous system. This chapter will review the main mechanisms involved starting from the new evidences from genetic studies. The effects of the sympathetic nervous system on the hypertensive state will be also evaluated in the different conditions starting from prehypertension to the resistant hypertensive state and the main secondary forms of hypertension.
