Abstract
Physiological systems that play a vital role in human physiology are usually regulated by multiple mechanisms. In particular, this holds true for the regulation of arterial blood pressure. Indeed, multiple organs including heart, vessels, kidney, adrenal gland, and brain are involved in its regulation. In addition, neurohumoral systems play a crucial role as they provide an interactive communication network as well as multiple local effects on various tissues. In patients with arterial hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) this homoeostasis is disturbed. However, modulation of neurohumoral systems may readjust the system if applied appropriately. For illustration of the complex regulatory mechanisms this review describes the central role of renin angiotensin system and the sympathic nervous system in the network of neurohumoral systems.
