Methods and results: Three hundred ninety-nine patients with essentialhypertension were analyzed.
2
The LVM values are comparable with those of patients with essentialhypertension.
3
Introduction: Insulin resistance has been implicated in the pathogenesis of essentialhypertension.
4
Methods: The study comprised 550 consecutive patients with uncomplicated essentialhypertension.
5
Conclusions: The DASH diet enhances the ABP response to losartan in essentialhypertension.

Recent studies delineating these factors have identified haemodynamic mechanisms contributing to primaryhypertension in children.
2
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.

Primaryhypertension is a major risk factor for ischemic heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease.
