Studies on experimental hypertension. 1. The production of persistent elevation of systolic blood pressure by means of renal ischemia.

 Goldblatt discovered  the role of the kidneys in the regulation of blood pressure. This was the first of Goldblatt’s papers on experimental hypertension, which established an aetiologic role for renal ischemia in the production of hypertension and established a laboratory basis for its study. Written with J. Lynch, R. F. Hanzal, and W. W. Summerville.
