Cardiac output is an important determinant of blood pressure. Factors which elevate cardiac output may, in theory, contribute to the development of primary hypertension. Increases in cardiac output and subsequent blood pressure may arise from factors that increase preload (fluid volume) or contractility...

Portal hypertension Increased blood pressure within the portal vein that supplies the liver.

Hypertension is a sustained, reproducible increase in blood pressure. Hypertension is one of the most common diseases affecting adults living in industrialized nations. In the United States, for example, hypertension occurs in approximately 30% of the general population aged 20 and over.44 The prevalence of this disease can be even higher in certain subpopulations (e.g., 41% in African Americans), and the incidence of hypertension increases with age.44,45 If left untreated, the sustained increase in blood pressure associated with hypertension can lead to cardiovascular problems (stroke, heart failure), renal disease, and blindness.15,22 108 111 These and other medical problems ultimately lead to an increased mortality rate in hypertensive individuals. 

Elevated blood pressure is usually caused by a combination of several abnormalities (multifactorial). Epidemiologic evidence points to genetic inheritance, psychological stress, and environmental and dietary factors (increased salt and decreased potassium or calcium intake) as perhaps contributing to the development of hypertension. Increase in blood pressure with aging does not occur in populations with low daily sodium intake. Patients with labile hypertension appear more likely than normal controls to have blood pressure elevations after salt loading. 

In compensated cirrhosis, sodium retention can occur in the absence of vasodilatation and effective hypovolaemia. Sinusoidal portal hypertension can reduce renal blood flow even in the absence of haemodynamic changes in the systemic circulation, suggesting the existence of a hepatorenal reflex. Portal hypertension increases the hydrostatic pressure within the hepatic sinusoids and favours transudation of fluid into the peritoneal cavity. 

Cerebral microbleeds are seen frequently in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage, less commonly in patients with ischemic stroke and rarely in healthy controls (Cordonnier et al. 2007). Risk factors for cerebral microbleeds include hypertension, increasing age, diabetes, cerebral amyloid angiopathy and, less commonly, cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with silent infarcts and leukoaraiosis (CADASIL) (Cordoimier et al. 2007). It is unclear whether previous use of antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants is a risk factor for cerebral microbleeds. 

Blood pressure tends to rise as both women and men age, but the risk of developing hypertension increases significantly following menopause. 

Active internal bleeding, history of CVA, recent intracranial or intraspinal surgery or trauma, intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation or aneurysm, bleeding diathesis or severe uncontrolled hypertension (increases risk of bleeding)... 

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) causes hypertension, increased food intake, inhibits sexual function, inhibits growth and causes sedation, amongst several other actions. The mythical NPY-blocked man would be thin, tall, vivacious and very interested in sex. Certainly a profitable image. 

ADVERSE EFFECTS The use of doxazosin as monotherapy for hypertension increases the risk of developing congestive heart failure. This may be an adverse effect of all of the adrenergic receptor antagonists. 

Women in iodine-deficient areas face increased demands for iodine during both pregnancy and lactation, which results in exaggerated iodine loss over years and consequently causes goiter. Most often, goiter continues after pregnancies cease, and in later years it may become multinodular. Iodine deficiency may also make the mother hypothyroid, with associated complications of anovulation, infertility, gestational hypertension, increased first-trimester abortion, abnormal fetal positions and still births. Further, hypothyroidism, infertility and fetal loss...

Male Sprague—Dawley adult rats, controls and exposed Low Pb exposure, with or without vitamin E-fortified diet 100 ppm in drinking water, 12 weeks Pb exposure without vitamin E produced hypertension increase in tissue nitrotyrosine, decrease in urinary NO. Vitamin E use halted hypertension and normalized tissue nitrotyrosine and urinary NO Vaziri et al. (1999)... 

Epoetin delta differs from the other erythropoietin derivatives in that it is produced in a human cell line using gene-activation technology. It has been approved in Europe but not in the USA for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. In patients with cancer and anemia who were given epoetin delta, possible treatment-related serious adverse events were hypertension, increased serum creatinine, and peripheral vascular disease [99 ]. There was a correlation with higher doses, suggesting that a dose of 150 lU/kg would be most appropriate to start with for this indication.
