Abstract
Hypertensive changes in the vasculature occur at all levels of the circulation--from the large arteries through to the microcirculation. Detection of these changes may offer useful predictive information in assessing cardiovascular risk and the need for treatment. Recent evidence shows that at least some of these changes are reversible with anti-hypertensive treatment.
