These changes and additions maintain the current status of the book and provide an even more complete survey of the available information about prostacyclin in hyperten sion. We wish to thank all those colleagues who have made useful suggestions for this second edition, as well as Springer Verlag and its associates, who ensured a uniformly smooth passage in the production of the book.

Patients with hyperten sion usually feel well subjectively and only rarely complain of symptoms.…
