Implication

Controversial endothelin data do not alter hypertension care; leaves open whether selective antagonists can clarify its pathogenic role.

Structured PICO

Is endothelin involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension?

P
Population
Hypertensive patients and animals (general discussion)
I
Intervention
Endothelin / Endothelin antagonists (conceptual)

The role of endothelin in the pathophysiology of hypertension remains unclear and requires further investigation using selective antagonists.
