Most cases of essential hypertension conform to the usually well recognized course of chronic hypertension which terminates, after years, in heart failure, cerebral hemorrhage, renal failure or some intercurrent infection. But there is a small group of cases, which, because of the peculiarities of the symptoms and vascular lesions, has been set aside by some observers in a separate class and designated "malignant" hypertension. Over the pathogenesis of the arteriolar...References1 VOLHARD F: in Handbuch d. inneren Medizin, G. von Bergheim und R. Staehlin, 1931, Julius Springer, Berlin, vi, part 2, 1556.
