Understanding the complex nature of BP regulation accelerated after William Harvey description of the circulatory system in the 17th century, with each incremental advance reinforcing its multifactorial basis, and highlighted by Guyton iconic computer model of circulatory (BP) control in 1972 which incorporated empirically tested concepts of blood flow autoregulation and the pressure-natriuresis relationship.

Sažetak:Arterijska hipertenzija je kao posebna nozološka jedinica definisana početkom XX veka. Način merenja krvnog pritiska, kako ga je koncipirao Riva Rocci i kasnije 1905. godine usavršio Korotkov, u suštini, ostaje nepromenjen skoro ceo vek. U čitavom XX veku sfigmomanometrija je u kliničkoj praksi pri izučavanju i lečenju kardiovaskularne patologije doprinela više nego bilo koja druga tehnika merenja. Međutim, savremena i efikasna terapija hipertenzije počinje tek u drugoj polovini tog stoleća. U radu su navedeni postupci za merenja pulsa i krvnog pritiska od početak ljudske civilizacije do savremenog doba. Prikazan je pristup kliničkom značaju i principi lečenja arterijske hipertenzije od početka do kraja XX veka. Ključne reči: arterijska hipertenzija, merenje krvnog pritiska, terapija , Abstract:Hypertension as a separate clinical unit was defined at the beginning of the twentieth century. The method of blood pressure measurement , conceived by Riva Rocci in 1905 and later mastered by Korotkov, remains essentially unchanged for almost a century. Throughout the twentieth century sphygmomanometry has contributed more than any other measurement technique_ to clinical practice in the study and treatment of cardiovascular pathology. However, contemporary and effective treatment of hypertension has begun in the second half of this century. In this paper methods for pulse measurement and blood pressure measurement from the beginning of human civilization to the modern age are presented, as well as the access to clinical importance and principles of hypertension treatment from the beginning to the end of the twentieth century. Keywords:arterial hypertension, blood pressure measurement, treatment Prvi zapis iz oblasti "kardiologije" je, verovatno, na staroegipatskom papirusu (oko 3000 g. p.n.e.) koji sadrži spise arhitekte i lekara (kasnije proglašenog polubogom) Imhotepa. Ovaj papirus sadrži opasku da je "puls indeks srca i stanja pacijenta". U periodu 2840-2600. g. p. n. e. su drevni kineski lekari (Sheng Nung i Huang Ti) utvrđivali bolesti pipanjem pulsa. Razlikovali su na taj način 23 vrste bolesti. Znali su da srce reguliše svu krv u telu i da krv neprestano kruži [1].Otac evropske medicine Hipokrat (Hippokrates, 460-370. g. p. n. e.) je opisao simptome i znake brojnih bolesti. Neke je prikazao tako detaljno da se i danas skoro u potpunosti slažu sa savremenim opisom. I danas koristimo eponime: succussio hippocratica, digiti hippocratici, facies hippocratica. U spisima koji su ostali iza Hipokrata malo je podataka koji se odnose na srce, krvne sudove ili puls, ali je on opisao kako prestaje krvarenje iz arterije kada nastupi smrt. Stara Grčka civilizacija je dala jednog "anatoma" (Heropphilos iz Kalcedonije 300. g. p. n e.) koji je opisao arterije i vene, a puls je brojao pomoću klepsidre -vodenog sata i jednog "fiziologa" (Erasistratos iz Kiosa 290. g. pre n. e.) koji je shvatio da krvni sudovi polaze iz srca, a pretpostavio je i postojanje kapilarnih veza između arterija i vena [2].Znameniti starorimski lek...

“…The Chinese, Hindu, Roman and Arabic cultures noticed that the heart influenced the pulse, and that changes in diet and activity 'hardened' or 'softened' it [1]. It was not until 1733, however, when the Reverend Stephen Hales introduced a brass pipe into the crural artery of a mare, that the existence of blood pressure was experimentally confirmed [2]. This method, as ingenious as it was, could not be used in clinical practice.…”

“…He substituted doctor Friederich Semelder, who had been with Maximilian and his wife, Empress Charlotte, since the beginning of the Empire [2]. Right from the start of his duty as the Emperor's physician, Von Basch started writing a journal that was published in Vienna, in 1868, under the title 'Memories of Mexico'.…”

Karl Samuel Ritter Von Basch: the sphygmomanometer and the Empire

The measurement of blood pressure is essential in clinical practice, and sphygmomanometers are a necessary appliance in every medical office. One of the most important men in the development of the sphygmomanometer was the Austrian physician Karl Samuel Ritter Von Basch. Even though Von Basch's name is not widely known, he developed the first non-invasive and clinically acceptable sphygmomanometer and introduced the aneroid manometer for the measurement of blood pressure. He also had an important role in history by witnessing, and documenting, the short lived Second Mexican Empire of Maximilian of Hapsburg. His contributions to Mexico's history and to the study of hypertension make him a notable figure, and one that should be remembered.
