Abstract
Lead is a ubiquitous toxin, known to have adverse effects on the body even at low levels of exposure. In this review we explore whether low lead may be the principal or a major contributory cause of essential hypertension, and whether removal of lead from the environment may eventually reduce both the overall incidence of hypertension and the increased incidence with aging.Entities:
