Patho-physiology of Hypertension
HTN develop gradually over a long period of time. The development of HTN requires the adjustment of several compensatory mechanisms over time. Several hypothesis exists for the original pathogenesis of HTN:
Excess Na intake Renal Na retention Renal Angiotensin System (RAS) Stress & sympathetic over activity Peripheral resistance cell membrane and endothelial dysfunction Obesity insulin resistance
