Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 98))

Abstract

The hemodynamic history of borderline hypertension is rich with the contributions of numerous investigators over the past five decades. This is a particularly propitious time to review the literature, since it comes near the end of a long transition period from basic descriptive hemodynamic investigations of cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, and calculated peripheral resistance to studies of more subtle abnormalities in cardiovascular compliance, regional hemodynamic regulation, receptor specific hemodynamic events, and the cellular basis of hemodynamic derangements. In the following pages these considerable accomplishments are summarized and an attempt is made to synthesize the information into a unifying concept on the hemodynamic pathogenesis and progression of borderline hypertension.
