Hypertension in 2017: Novel mechanisms of hypertension and vascular dysfunctionHypertension in 2017: Novel mechanisms of hypertension and vascular dysfunction, Published online: 02 January 2018; doi:10.1038/nrneph.2017.178New findings in 2017 enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate blood pressure. Key studies provided insights into immune mechanisms, the role of the gut microbiota, the adverse effects of perivascular fat and inflammation on the vasculature, and the contribution of rare variants in renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system genes to salt sensitivity.
