Cardiovascular disease is the world's biggest cause of mortality and is caused by hypertension, a modifiable risk factor. About 85% of hypertensive cases are essential or primary with no identifiable cause. Therefore, it becomes even more important to identify the etiology and causes of essential hypertension to develop novel treatments.

Telomeres and Essential Hypertension [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 1999 The dynamics of telomere attrition in human beings might shape the course of age-dependent, complex genetic traits. One of these traits is essential hypertension. Age-dependent telomere attrition could lead to critically shortened telomeres and aneuploidy (ie, the loss or gain of chromosomes) with a resultant mosaicism that will be variably expressed ...

Microalbuminuria in essential hypertension [PDF]
Kidney International, 1998 Microalbuminuria is frequently seen in patients with established essential hypertension, and is a predictor of a higher risk for cardiovascular and probably renal dysfunction. The presence of microalbuminuria has been shown to correlate with the other cardiovascular risk factors commonly seen in hypertensive patients.

Adducin in essential hypertension
FEBS Letters, 1998 However adducin polymorphisms account for only a portion of hypertension both in humans and rats. Therefore additive or epistatic interactions with other genes involved in renal sodium handling need to be studied.

Essential Hypertension and Aldosterone [PDF]
Circulation, 1961 Serial determinations of the urinary excretion of aldosterone have been made in hypertensive patients. Although the majority of patients with benign essential hypertension excrete amounts of aldosterone within the normal range, the mean excretion of 26 patients was significantly higher than that observed in normotensive individuals.

Moxibustion for essential hypertension
Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 2014 The objective of this review was to assess the current clinical evidence of moxibustion for essential hypertension (EH). 7 electronic databases were searched until March 2013. Randomized clinical trials testing moxibustion, or combined with antihypertensive drugs, against antihypertensive drugs alone were included.

Microalbuminuria in Essential Hypertension
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1993 The prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with essential hypertension ranges between 10 and 25%. The level of albuminuria is highly correlated with arterial pressure and more closely ambulatory arterial pressure. The interaction between albuminuria and arterial pressure is clearly enhanced by overweight and smoking.
