title: [Evolutionary and Genetic Roots of Hypertensive Disease].
abstract: This review concerns issues related to the evolutionary and genetic origins of hypertensive disease. An evolutionary approach is used to account for the predisposition of modern people to the development of a pathology such as hypertensive disease. Many studies indicate the importance of "ancestral" alleles, which provided perfect adaptation to the environment and lifestyle of our distant relatives, with respect to the increase in hypertensive disease development among modern individuals.
