The aim of present-day treatment of hypertension is no longer as
the effective reduction of blood pressure, regarded merely but as
the ever-increasing application of new therapeutic prin ciples to
prevent such consequences of hypertension as left heart
hypertrophy, medial hypertrophy of the vessels and ar
teriosclerosis. In this context special attention has been di
rected to stimulation of the endogenous vasocilator hormonal
systems such as the prostaglandins. The great interest in our book,
which has meanwhile appeared in a French edition, seems to confirm
this trend and has encouraged us to include in the book the new
findings published in the last twelve months. These changes and
additions maintain the current status of the book and provide an
even more complete survey of the available information about
prostacyclin in hyperten sion. We wish to thank all those
colleagues who have made useful suggestions for this second
edition, as well as Springer Verlag and its associates, who ensured
a uniformly smooth passage in the production of the book. Cologne
and MUnster, January 1990 Gerd Bonner Karl-Heinz Rahn v Preface to
the First Edition Diseases of the heart and circulation currently
constitute the commonest causes of death in our population.
Hypertension, as evidenced by a pathologic increase in blood
pressure, is one of the most important risk factors. Primary
hypertension can be established in about 15 % of adults. Patients
with hyperten sion usually feel well subjectively and only rarely
complain of symptoms."
