Why the study?
How do periods of life stress and emotional reactions affect renal circulation in subjects with and without essential hypertension?
How do periods of life stress and emotional reactions affect renal circulation in subjects with and without essential hypertension?
This study investigates the physiological impact of life stress and neural activity on renal blood flow in individuals with and without essential hypertension.
Stress may alter renal blood flow in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
