FAMILY AND NONFAMILY FORMS OF ARTERIAL-HY PERTENSION

Family and nonfamily hypertension (FH, NFH) forms were studied among p atients with essential hypertension and symptomatic hypertension. Na-L i countertransport in FH patients against NFH ones proved significantl y increased. However, Ca2+ velocity mediated by Ca ATPase in them was less than in NFH subjects. Plasma filtration and hemosorption reduced arterial pressure more effectively in NFH patients. Surgical treatment in patients with symptomatic arterial hypertension is more successful in reducing arterial pressure in NFH subjects.
