Supports low-renin hypertension as progressed phenotype with vasoconstriction; extends concepts yet leaves causality and therapeutic implications open.
Do haemodynamic characteristics differ between low-renin and normal-renin hypertension?
Low-renin hypertension is associated with distinct haemodynamic changes including lower cardiac output and higher vascular resistance, supporting the concept that renin decreases as hypertension progresses.
Schalekamp et al. (1977) studied this question.
