Blood pressure is regulated through complex mechanisms involving the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and nervous system to maintain homeostasis. Dysregulation can lead to conditions like hypertension or hypotension. This book examines the physiological mechanisms of blood pressure regulation, including the roles of baroreceptors, the renin-angiotensin system, and vascular resistance. It explores clinical implications of dysregulation and offers insights into therapeutic interventions, such as antihypertensive drugs and lifestyle modifications. With case studies and practical applications, it provides a detailed understanding for clinicians and students.
Jonathan James is a physiologist who specializes in the regulation of blood pressure. His research explores how the body controls blood pressure through neural, hormonal, and renal mechanisms. Jonathan has authored several influential studies on hypertension and its link to cardiovascular disease. His work investigates new approaches to managing blood pressure and preventing related complications. Jonathan’s research contributes to a deeper understanding of blood pressure regulation in health and disease.
