This volume records a congress where international experts convened to discuss the impact of stress on the pathogenesis and clinical features of hypertension. Contributions represent the broad range of disciplines now involved in research on the causes of cardiovascular and renal disturbances during hypertension. Papers also consider problems of experimental design and interpretation implicit in efforts to measure the influence of stress. Both human and animal studies are reported.
The volume has been organized into four main sections. The first evaluates the physiologic consequences of environmental stress through discussion of such factors as personality type, psychological stress, urbanization, live events, traffic noise, and alcohol consumption. Specific effects of stress are measured in terms of vasomotor tone, circulatory control, and dopaminergic and noradrenergic mechanisms. Papers in the second section report epidemiologic findings that help clarify the etiologic importance of stress in hypertension and point out the potential of non-pharmacologic means of reducing blood pressure. The third section reports findings on altered cardiovascular functions, including cardiovascular structural adaptations, myocardial hypertrophy, and changes in coronary circulation associated with hypertension. The concluding section explores the pathogenic role of salt in hypertension.
Taken together, these papers offer a thorough survey of present knowledge on the mechanisms by which stress may influence the pathogenesis of hypertension. Vissza
