Abstract
Cadmium and Zinc levels were determined in 100 patients of Essential hypertension by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. It was shown that the mean levels of Serum cadmium were 43.34% +/- 6.5% higher and zinc were 28.42% +/- 5.4% lower in hypertensive when compared with normotensive controls. A statistically significant relationship between the height of diastolic blood pressure and Serum cadmium levels was observed. Ajmaloon a preparation from Rauvolfia serpentina with corrective herbs lowered the blood pressure effectively and significantly P less than 0.001. The side effects were minimal. It also tends to decrease the elevated serum cadmium levels in hypertensive individuals. A plea for development of Catecholamine depleting agents as drug for hypertension is advanced.
