Abstract
This chapter is concerned with blood pressure regulatory mechanisms in the elderly and the conditions in which they are disturbed. It is not intended to be a general review of circulatory physiology and the disorders that affect it. A full account of the normal circulation is that of Folkow and Neil (1971); clinical disorders affecting circulatory regulation are described by Johnson and Spalding (1975). Hypertension in old age is considered in detail in Chapter 7, and is therefore mentioned only briefly here.
