Hypertension is linked to homeostasis as a condition arising from the disturbance of homeostatic balance [1], specifically through imbalances in sympathetic tone and hormones that regulate homeostasis {fact:2, fact:3, fact:4}. Furthermore, homeostasis models are used to explain the physiological dysfunction of organs that leads to hypertension [2].

claimChronically elevated glucocorticoid levels in allostatic overload Type 2 may cause imbalances in sympathetic and parasympathetic tone, as well as in other hormones associated with homeostasis, food intake, and reproduction, potentially leading to conditions like hypertension and insulin resistance.
claimBruce McEwen (1998) suggests that chronically elevated glucocorticoid levels may cause imbalances in sympathetic and parasympathetic tone, as well as hormones associated with homeostasis, food intake, and reproduction, which may manifest as conditions like hypertension and insulin resistance.
claimImbalances in sympathetic and parasympathetic tone and hormones associated with homeostasis, food intake, and reproduction caused by allostatic overload Type 2 may manifest as hypertension and insulin resistance.

claimHomeostasis models the cause of hypertension by pointing to abnormal functionality of the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, or molecular signaling, whereas allostasis explains that the brain deliberately directs these organs on an anticipatory basis to elevate blood pressure for the delivery of resources like glucose and oxygen to large muscle groups.
