Key result
Systemic hypertension was associated with multifocal brain capillary lesions, including increased diameter and endothelial degeneration, in both monkeys and human autopsy samples.

Hypertension-linked capillary lesions remain hypothesis-generating; prospective human studies needed before any clinical implications.
Observational
Does systemic hypertension cause structural brain capillary lesions in monkeys and humans?
Systemic hypertension induces structural damage to brain capillaries, suggesting a pathogenesis involving successive episodes of regional ischemia or hyperperfusion.
García et al. (1981) conducted an observational in Systemic hypertension. Systemic hypertension was evaluated on Brain capillary lesions. Systemic hypertension was associated with multifocal brain capillary lesions, including increased diameter and endothelial degeneration, in both monkeys and human autopsy samples.
