Many clinicians have tended to accept essential hypertension as an entity due to a single but unknown cause. This concept is no longer tenable for two reasons. In the first place the demonstration by Goldblatt and his coworkers1that animals with experimental renal hypertension may present a clinical picture similar in all respects to that of...Bibliography1.
