The role of genetic determinants of predisposition to hypertension and of strain situations as factors of precipitation, with acute rise of blood pressure and cardiac output, is emphasized. It is also referred the importance of the early detection of true hypertensives by studying their reaction to strain situations, being particularly promising the mental stress tests and the dynamic exercise tests.}, number={5}, journal={Acta Médica Portuguesa}, author={da Silva, J D}, year={1992}, month={May}, pages={259–62} }
