Brief Summary
The essential arterial hypotension and allostasis registry is a prospective, observational research that has the purpose of demonstrating that essential blood pressure (BP) disorders and the associated comorbidities are a result of the inappropriate allostatic response to daily life stress. This required a functioning brain orchestrating the evaluation of the threat and choosing the response, this is a mind-mediated phenomenon. If the response is excessive it contributes to high BP, if deficient to low BP, and the BP itself will identify the allostatic pattern, which in turn will play an important role in the development of the comorbidities. To do so, consecutive patients of any age and gender that visit a cardiologist's office in Medellin, Colombia, are recruited. Individuals are classified according to their arterial BP and allostasis and follow them in time to see what kind of diseases develops the most (including BP) in the follow up according to the categorization of the characteristic chosen and after adjustment for confounder's variables. In addition, stress events with their date are registered. HYPOTHESIS The causes of the diseases are multifactorial. Physical, biochemical, psychological, social, and cultural dimensions of development dynamically interact to shape the health development process. A person´s health depends on their:
- 1.Biological and physiologic systems
- 2.External and internal environment (a) physical, b) internal behavioural and arousal state as registered by the brain.
- 3.Their interaction.
- 4.Functional systems; mediated by:
- 5.The Autonomic Nervous System
- 6.The endocrine system
- 7.The immune system
- 8.Structural changes: whenever the internal and/or external stressors are long lasting and/or strength enough, they may induce changes in:
- 9.Epigenetic, endophenotypes, polyphenism.
- 10.Plasticity
- 11.The interaction between a) and b).

Study Arms (1)
Consecutive patients who consult a cardiologist
Consecutive patients who consult a cardiologist - electrophysiologist since June 2006, regardless of the age or gender in the city of Medellin, Colombia. They could have consulted previously (considered as the enrollment date) if they had, at least, one measurement of their BP in supine position, and an immediate measurement of their BP in standing position that allows diagnosing their group of blood pressure. All patients have a record in paper and/or magnetic file and in OpenClinica. No interventions.
Eligibility Criteria
Consecutive patients that visits a cardiologist's office in Medellin, Colombia. The population consists of patients of any age and gender, which are classified according to their blood pressure in: normotensive, hypertensive and hypotensive, they are also classified according to their adaptability in hypo, normo and hyper.
You may qualify if:
- Any patient regardless of the age of gender
You may not qualify if:
- Any non-correctable secondary cause of increase or decrease in blood pressure
- or a pathology that alters the prognosis before the entrance of the patient into this registry.
- nephropathy prior to the admission,
- familial dyslipidemia,
- previous gastric bypass,
- pre-existing heart failure,
- chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity,
- arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia,
- long QT syndrome,
