Neurogenic Hypertension Top Journals

Neurogenic hypertension has been a accessory in the hypertension literature for well over half a century. Early reports chronicle an increase in arterial blood pressure (ABP) after legislation of baroreceptor neurological nerve signaling, so the hypertension was clearly of neural origin. Today, neurogenic hypertension often assign to a sympathetically driven increase in ABP.1 However, it could also refer to increased ABP caused by hormonal outputs of the brain or even any form of hypertension that involves neural signaling. Neurogenic hypertension applies whether the true origin of the hypertension is neural (ie, the primary underlying issue is in the brain or in afferent or efferent nerves) or the origin is non-neural but results in neurally mediated increase in ABP. This is a distinction worth making, as the causative factors are quite distinct. Indeed, the term neurogenic hypertension may encompass too much and relate forms of hypertension that share little in terms of pathogenic mechanism or common mechanistic output.
