Abstract
As early as 2300 B. C. the Yellow Emperor, a lengendary Chinese physician of the Ming Dynasty, made a statement on the cause of high blood pressure that still holds today. He had observed that the constant consumption of highly salted foods “makes the pulse hard” and - replacing his graphic description with succinct modern terms - may lead to stroke and aphasia.
