The role of vascular capacitance in the genesis of essential hypertension.

1. Analysis of relationships between blood volume, vascular capacitance, cardiopulmonary and peripheral blood volumes, labelled albumin disappearance rate, plasma renin activity, blood pressure and age was performed in essential hypertensive males. 2. The results indicate that capacitance bed constriction probably occurs with age in essential hypertension leading to an increase in the product blood volume xvascular capacitance tone even in the presence of low blood volume. 3. A metabolic defect in the venous vascular bed along with an abnormality of regulation of renal sodium excretion is postulated.

Significance of increase in labelled albumin disappearance rate in arterial hypertension.

1. Relationships between labelled albumin disappearance rate (LADR), plasma volume, blood volume, plasma renin activity (PRA) and blood pressure (BP) were studied in normotensive control subjects and patients with hypertension of different aetiology and severity. In essential hypertensive patients without complications an inverse linear relationship was found between blood pressure and plasma or blood volume. 2. Very close inverse correlations were found between LADR and PRA in both normotensive subjects and patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension. LADR appears to be an excellent reference standard for PRA. 3. It is postulated that LADR mainly reflects the relation between circulating fluid and vascular capacitance tone. LADR is increased in hypertension and blood volume may still be inappropriately high.

General and regional hemodynamics in hypertension in chronic renal disease.

Cardiac output, total peripheral vascular resistance, renal, extrarenal, forearm muscle and skin hemodynamics and an indicator of the splanchic vascular resistance were estimated in 20 subjects with chronic renal disease without signs of chronic renal failure and without anemia. The data were compared with a group of subjects with essential hypertension. The high blood pressure of chronic renal disease of mild or moderate severity was maintained in the first place by a high cardiac output, this being due to a rise of the stroke volume, while the heart rate was only slightly increased. The total peripheral vascular resistance was within the normal range in most of the subjects. The vascular resistance in the skin was slightly raised, that in the splanchnic area and muscle unchanged in renal hypertension. The possible pathogenic mechanisms are considered.
