Does a positive family history of hypertension alter autonomic reactivity in healthy normotensive male offspring?
May identify preclinical autonomic changes in normotensive offspring; leaves open prospective validation for hypertension prediction.
Hypertension is a global problem. Positive family history of hypertension is one of the risk factors for being hypertensive in future life for their children. Hyperactive sympathetic nervous system is reported in children of hypertensive parents. Aim-The main aim of the study was to observe the magnitude of alterations in autonomic reactivity in normotensive male offsprings of both hypertensive and normotensive parents.
