Impaired vasodilator capacity and exaggerated pressor response to isometric exercise in subjects with family history of hypertension.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hypertension is the leading global preventable risk factor for premature death. While hypertension prevalence has been declining in high-income countries, it has increased continuously in low- and middle-income countries. METHODS:We conducted a cross-sectional survey in 7,524 women and men aged 35-74 years ...
