Psychological distress—pathophysiology of newly developed hypertension after the Great East Japan Earthquake

2022-08-05T17:45+0200nature-hr (en)

A meta-analysis of recent studies showed an acute biphasic effect of ethanol on BP, which decreased up to 12 h after ingestion and then increased. This effect is mediated by vagal suppression and sympathetic activation. Evidence from various studies has converged on the risk of chronic alcohol consumption for the incidence of hypertension [ 4 ].
