Reactivity of sympathetic nervous system in patients with borderline hypertension

ABSTRACT

Different components of the sympathetic nervous systems, of patients with border line hypertension, have been studied, by some physiologic, and pharmacologic tests and compared with those of the normotensives control volunteers. The study showed that, patients with border line hypertension, have increased reactivity of various parts of their sympathetic nervous systems including efferent sympathetic fibres, and the adrenergic receptors both alpha and beta
