Minicourse on homeostatic achievements about hormones and blood pressure : a challenge for chronobiologic engineering and computing

The authors introduce homeostatic results obtained without chronobiologic provisions and then call attention to the fact that the chronobiologic approach has already yielded, through the cooperation of engineers and computer scientists with physicians and basic medical scientists, some avenues toward the clinical evaluation of (and even assessment of the risk of developing) the condition of high blood pressure. Homeostatic results on blood pressure, the renin-angiotensin system, and the adrenal gland are discussed. The adrenergic nervous system and the atrial natriuretic factor are also discussed.
