Text: In hypertensive patients, but not in control subjects, despite a similar increment in coronary blood flow, a significant (p < 0. 05) transient increase of venous active renin (from 10. 7 + / - 1. 4 [95 % confidence interval 9. 4 to 11. 8] to a maximum of 13. 8 + / - 2. 1 [12. 2 to 15. 5] with a consequent drop to 10. 9 + / - 1. 8 [9. 7 to 12. 1] pg/ml), and angiotensin II (from 14. 6 + / - 2. 0 [12. 7 to 16. 5] to a maximum of 20. 4 + / - 2. 7 [18. 7 to 22. 2] with a consequent drop to 16. 3 + / - 1. 8 [13. 9 to 18. 7] pg/ml) was observed under adenosine infusion, whereas arterial values did not change.
