The regulation of cardiovascular function by the pressor centres of the hypothalamus located in the ventro-medical nucleus of the hypothalamus is discussed, together with the baro-receptor control, the part played by the release of catecholamines, and the limitations of this control. The depressor part of the hypothalamus, located in the paraventricular nucleus, is characterised by its haemodynamic and pharmacological properties. This study throws light on new areas of possible treatment of angina pectoris and so-called essential hypertension, which are more appropriate to the clinical findings.
