Recent studies delineating these factors have identified haemodynamic mechanisms contributing to primaryhypertension in children.

Recently, alpha-adducin variants have been associated to both human primaryhypertension and salt sensitive hypertension.
3
The stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) is a well-characterized model for primaryhypertension in humans.
4
The results of this study indicate a potential role for central fat in the etiology of primaryhypertension.
5
The impaired renal sodium handling in primaryhypertension and salt sensitivity may be caused by aberrant counter-regulatory natriuretic and anti-natriuretic pathways.
6
This result suggests that both race and obesity have important roles in the development of end-organ damage among children with primaryhypertension.
7
Thus, for the same demographic features and overall cardiovascular risk profile, renovascular hypertension carries a more detrimental effect on the carotid artery than primaryhypertension.
8
Primaryhypertension is a major risk factor for ischemic heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease.
