Essential hypertension results from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. To date progress has mainly concerned rare genetic forms of hypertension, but molecular advances and current large collaborative studies make it likely that common genetic factors in hypertension will soon be determined.
原发性高血压是由遗传和环境因素相互作用所致。迄今为止,研究进展主要集中在罕见的遗传性高血压类型上,但分子生物学的进展以及当前大规模的合作研究表明,高血压的常见遗传因素可能很快就会被确定。
