Autonomic imbalance, hypertension, and cardiovascular risk

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of prereceptor versus receptor abnormalities for the etiology of insulin resistance in patients with high blood pressure and found that a high sympathetic tone in particular is responsible for many of the metabolic, hemodynamic, trophic, and rheologic abnormalities that cluster in patients suffering from hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
