title: [Alcohol-induced hypertension].
abstract: The frequency of hypertension in a group of alcoholics and the incidence of alcohol abuse in a group of patients with hypertension was compared with a collective with type-II-diabetes. There is a high relationship between alcoholics and hypertension, a lower one between alcohol abuse in the hypertension group. Chronic alcohol abuse seems to be a more important risk factor for the development of hypertension than diabetes. Genesis and therapeutic consequences of alcohol-induced hypertension are discussed.
