Main Article Content
Abstract
Progress in hypertension has produced benefits for many people but still there are unresolved problems. We still have to decide; at what level treat hypertension; and what are the longer risks of drugs which so effectively control blood pressure. Research is in progress in the fascinating abnormality of cellular sodium transport; prostaglandin / Kallikrin – Bradyinin system, and the rennin angiotensin cascade. We have not achieved perfection; controversy continues which is the stimulus to progress in medicine.
