"In this book, Professor Paul Korner has provided a unique synthesis of the pathophysiology of essential hypertension (EH), which will provide an invaluable resource for hypertension researchers, cardiovascular physicians, and neuroscientists. The normal operations of the brain and peripheral components of the circulatory control system have been contrasted with the corresponding changes in EH, renal hypertension, and genetic models of high blood pressure (BP)."--BOOK JACKET |
