People who develop prehypertension during young adulthood have an increased likelihood of coronary atherosclerosis later in life, research reveals. Mark Pletcher (University of California, San ...
- HYPERTENSION & DEPRESSION INTEGRATING THERAPEUTICS: -Integrating depression and hypertension treatment improves outcomes
Integrating depression treatment with hypertension management can improve outcomes for older patients with both conditions, a pilot study suggests. "Our preliminary study offers support for the ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Mild blood-pressure elevations in young adulthood linked to coronary calcium in later life
Mildly elevated blood pressure in young adults may increase their risk of developing coronary atherosclerosis decades later, a new study suggests1. Writing in the July 15, 2008 issue of the Annals ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Treatment of hypertension has improved over time, with impact on events
A new analysis of data from the Framingham Heart Study shows that blood pressure (BP) levels in the community have improved over time, likely due to the widespread introduction of antihypertensive ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Urinary albumin excretion within normal range poses hypertension risk
US researchers say it may be time to reconsider the definition of normal albumin excretion, after finding that elevations in urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) within the normal range may ...
- HYPERTENSION: -BP and vascular measures improve with coarctation relief
Australian research has provided further evidence that even mild seasonal temperature changes influence hospitalization and mortality risk in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The study is ...
- ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION: -ARBs may be superior to ACE inhibitors against stroke
J Hypertens 2008; 26: 1282-1289 Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are as effective as ACE inhibitors at protecting against cardiovascular events and all-cause death, and may be slightly more ...
- WOMEN HEALTH: - HYPERTENSION & GENDER & LVH: - Women have less LV hypertrophy regression with antihypertensives than men
Women experience less left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy regression with antihypertensive therapy than men, study findings indicate. Reduction of blood pressure with antihypertensive treatment leads ...
- HYPERTENSION: - Uncontrolled hypertension linked to patients' perceived good health
Untreated and uncontrolled blood pressure in young-to-middle age hypertensive patients are linked to a perception of good health and lack of need to regularly see a doctor, particularly among Black ...
- HYPERTENSION: - CONTROL MODEL'S: - Pharmacist web support helps get to blood-pressure goals

- SALT & ANGIOGENESIS AND IMPAIRED MUSCLE FUNCTION: - Inhibition of angiogenesis by high salt diet is associated with impaired muscle performance following chronic muscle stimulation
Abstract & Objective: High dietary salt has been demonstrated to inhibit angiogenesis in skeletal muscle. The purpose of this study was to determine whether high salt impairs steady state muscle ...
- HYPERTENSION: - High childhood BP continues into adulthood
High blood pressure (BP) in childhood is associated with hypertension in adulthood, results of a large meta-analysis indicate. “The BP tracking data indicate that children with elevated BP levels ...
- HYPERTENSION: - Experts advocate focus on systolic BP in over 50s
Diagnosis and management of hypertension in people over the age of 50 years should be based on systolic blood pressure (BP), say hypertension experts. Bryan Williams (University of Leicester, UK) and ...
- HYPERTENSION : - Interaction between renal function and microalbuminuria for cardiovascular risk in hypertension
We investigated whether renal function and microalbuminuria are independent predictors and whether any interaction exists between them, regarding future cardiovascular disease in hypertensive ...
- HYPERTENSION: - Hypertension induces somatic cellular senescence in rats and humans by induction of cell cycle inhibitor p16INK4a
There is increasing evidence for a role of somatic cellular senescence in physiological aging but also in injury and disease. Cell cycle inhibitor p16INK4a is the key mediator for stress and ...
