Experimental study demonstrates systemic organ damage in malignant hypertension models, suggesting shared endocrine and vascular mechanisms.

To delineate the pathological mechanisms producing severe cardiovascular and renal lesions during the course of malignant hypertension.
Conducted experimental pathological evaluations of organ and vascular damage under conditions of severe, accelerated hypertension.
Examined structural and histological alterations in the heart, peripheral vascular tree, and renal parenchyma during disease progression.
Severe hypertension induces widespread acute necrotizing arteriolitis and proliferative changes across both renal and cardiovascular vascular beds.
Cardiovascular injury closely mirrors progressive nephrosclerosis, underscoring a continuous destructive cascade between renal impairment and arterial damage.

Selye et al. (1946) studied this question.
