Revisiting essential hypertension, regulation of blood pressure control and the Adrenaline Hypothesis

Hypertension or high blood pressure (BP) is a condition that has a significant impact on the world's population morbidity and mortality. The World Health Report 2002, stated that high blood pressure caused 7.1 million deaths throughout the world, which was approximately 13% of total deaths wo...
