It is presented a review of some recent aspects of the hypertension's physiopathology, namely those related with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and with the cardiovascular structural changes. The large action range of the angiotensin is pointed out, in particular those actions related with the heart's and vessel's adaptation to a chronic load of pressure. In the end, the author stresses some recent references about the genetic's role on the pathogenesis of the structural changes.
本文综述了高血压病理生理学的一些最新进展，即与肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统以及心血管结构变化相关的方面。文中指出了血管紧张素的广泛作用范围，尤其是那些与心脏和血管适应慢性压力负荷相关的作用。最后，作者强调了一些关于遗传因素在结构变化发病机制中作用的最新参考文献。
