Left ventricular function and regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in essential hypertension.

abstract：:Compliance is commonly defined as the extent to which a person's behavior coincides with medical or health advice. There is evidence that noncompliance is a common problem with many medications, including antihypertensive treatment. Since noncompliance can have serious adverse effects on patient health it is important...

abstract：BACKGROUND:The dopaminergic and endothelin systems, by regulating sodium transport in the renal proximal tubule (RPT), participate in the control of blood pressure. The D(3) and ETB receptors are expressed in RPTs, and D(3) receptor function in RPTs is impaired in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Therefore, we t...
