"Hypertension can be divided into 3 groups: disease of arteries, disease of veins, and a combination of both artery and vein diseases. Diseases of arteries can be caused by disease of arteries, diseases of veins by diseases of veins or by combinations of both artery and vein diseases. The combination of artery and vein diseases are rarely found. There are three types of arterial or arterio-vascular diseases. Artery diseases can be subdivided as diseases of large arteries, small arteries and arterial diseases. Arterial diseases can also be subdivided into thrombotic and non-thrombotic subgroups. Drugs can also cause hypertension because they influence blood pressure." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"If the symptoms of hypertension are relieved by the consumption of alcoholic drinks, which are not a food for the treatment of hypertension, the blood pressure at baseline in the population has shown a significant dependence, the longer the duration of the cessation of the consumption of alcoholic drinks, the better the ability of the population to control the amount of hypertension: a decrease of 1.2% and 7.7% resp. in the population with 12 months and 24 months, respectively. I am not sure that the consumption can lead to permanent remission, and the level of hypertension is not a direct measurement of the quality of food." - Anonymous Online Contributor
