The incidence of this disturbance in cardiovascular function is extraordinarily high. In some studies, it is estimated that as many as 10% of the white population and 20% of the black population have hypertension,1and the damage done to cerebral, cardiac, and renal function may be devastating. Though often the precise pathogenic basis for the elevated blood pressure cannot be determined (and thereby earns the designation "essential"), the blood pressure usually can be effectively reduced to a normal range.

In recent years, however, there has been general agreement that diastolic arterial
