Abstract

The description of the pathogenic events which underly the production of any particular disease is a relatively easy exercise when the etiology of the disease and its symptoms are well established. However, such is not the case with hypertension, for high blood pressure is not itself a disease but merely one of a family of common symptomatic manifestations which develop in response to various pathologies.
