Key result
The computational model demonstrates that long-term control of arterial blood pressure is primarily through the baroreflex arc and renin-angiotensin system, and arterial stiffening sufficiently explains age-related primary hypertension.

Challenges renal primacy in hypertension; hypothesis-generating for baroreflex and stiffening roles pending validation.
This computational model challenges the traditional view of kidney dominance in chronic blood pressure regulation, suggesting instead that the baroreflex arc, renin-angiotensin system, and arterial stiffening are the primary drivers.
Beard et al. (2013) studied Primary hypertension and arterial pressure regulation. Computational modeling of cardiovascular mechanics and renal function vs. Historical experimental data was evaluated on Validation of model predictions against experimental physiological data. The computational model demonstrates that long-term control of arterial blood pressure is primarily through the baroreflex arc and renin-angiotensin system, and arterial stiffening sufficiently explains age-related primary hypertension.
