The aim of present-day treatment of hypertension is no longer as the effective reduction of blood pressure, regarded merely but as the ever-increasing application of new therapeutic prin ciples to prevent such consequences of hypertension as left heart hypertrophy, medial hypertrophy of the vessels and ar teriosclerosis. In this context special attention has been di rected to stimulation of the endogenous vasocilator hormonal systems such as the prostaglandins. The great interest in our book, which has meanwhile appeared in a French edition, seems to confirm this trend and has encouraged us to include in the book the new findings published in the last twelve months. These changes and additions maintain the current status of the book and provide an even more complete survey of the available information about prostacyclin in hyperten sion. We wish to thank all those colleagues who have made useful suggestions for this second edition, as well as Springer Verlag and its associates, who ensured a uniformly smooth passage in the production of the book.
