Hypothyroidism and hypertension.
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy 2010 November
Hypothyroidism has been recognized as a cause of secondary hypertension.

The hypothyroid population is characterized by significant volume changes, initiating a volume-dependent, low plasma renin activity mechanism of blood pressure elevation. This article summarizes previous studies on the impact of hypothyroidism on blood pressure and early atherosclerotic process.
