This chapter attempts to organize the information obtained to date, concerning the properties and possible physiological roles of the various ion channels which contribute to maintaining the resting membrane potential, and to activating vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMCs) as summarized previously. The effects of vasodilators are discussed in less detail. Emphasis is placed upon electrophysiological studies at the cellular or single channel level.Less

This chapter focuses on the pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment and prevention of hypertension. It first discusses some antihypertensive medications that could be prescribed to treat high blood pressure. The classes of antihypertensive medications discussed are diuretics, adrenergic-inhibiting agents, and vasodilators. It then examines the effect of antihypertensive agents on cognitive functioning and cardiovascular reactivity to stress. Finally, the chapter explores a number of non-pharmacologic, psychological interventions that have been used with hypertensive patients.Less
