This article is a summary of the physiological and clinical evidence that links the cause of
essential hypertension to the brain. We stress the potential importance of a biochemical
disturbance in the central role of angiotensin II in the regulation of arterial pressure. While
the evidence is compelling, we acknowledge the need for further complete studies on this
timely subject.
