Increasing evidence suggests that arterial hypertension (AHT) may begin in childhood and result in the premature development of cardiovascular disease. In view of this, we believed it would be important to investigate the early vascular changes related to early hypertension at the micro- and macrovascular levels both under normal circumstances and after cold-induced sympathetic stimulation.
