Abstract

Drugs are often overlooked as the cause of secondary hypertension. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - given regulatory for long period, sex hormones - in higher doses than substitution, immunosuppressants - cyclosporine, antidepressants - venlafax- ine, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids themselves, and drugs that lead to their excess, and some antineoplastics are associated with blood pressure elevation.

The main focus of the paper will be on the mechanism by which vascular endothelial growth factor pathway blockers interfere with the regulation of blood pressure.
