In view of the number of publications that descend on the hypertension specialist like a waterfall, such proclamations seem to overlook the considerable amount of knowledge that we already have about the etiology of EH. The problem may be a lack of synthesis rather than a lack of information. This book brings together some of this knowledge into a coherent and clinically relevant account about the pathogenesis of EH. With an extremely broad reach, this book aims to give a balanced view of the causes of EH, its neural, genetic, and environmental causes.

Hence, each type of hypertension merits detailed analysis of its underlying
mechanisms. The neural cardiovascular control system is a nonlinear adaptive
system. Sometimes the neural parameter changes come automatically into play
