Abstract
Hypertension is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factors. Most of the cases are not due to secondary causes and are diagnosed as essential hypertension, although a common physiopathologic link underlies for diabetes and dyslipidemia that are usually present. Most hypertensive patients have also obesity and insulin resistance and this may be more than an epidemiologic association, but one of the main physiopathologic basis of essential hypertension.
