The B-type procyanidins are one of the most commonly consumed catechin oligomers in the human diet. Previous studies have shown both the long-term and single-dose advantages of B-type procyanidins on human metabolism, circulation, and the nervous system. Now researchers review the hormetic effects of B-type procyanidins exerted on the primary target organ, the gut, via activation of the central nervous system.

Fast-acting medicines such as intravenous medicines administered during delivery for women with severe preeclampsia may lower blood pressure too quickly and lead to complications for the mother and/or the baby. Researchers also observed trends toward fewer deliveries by Cesarean section (C-section) and less neonatal intensive care needed for the newborns among the women started on nifedipine for high blood pressure during induction of labor.

Among several lifestyle changes considered, such as diet, weight loss, physical activity, etc., the study found the largest impact on reducing cardiovascular events may come from adopting the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet. Analysis found that widespread adoption of non-pharmacologic interventions in lower-risk U.S. adults with Stage 1 hypertension may prevent nearly 26,000 cardiovascular disease events, avoid 2,900 deaths and save about $1.6 billion in associated health care costs over ten years.

Bone quality in young mice with high blood pressure was similar to the bones of older mice without high blood pressure, suggesting that the effects of hypertension on bone quality, which includes strength, may mimic that of aging. The researchers suggest early detection and treatment of high blood pressure may help to deter loss of bone quality as people age.

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 12:05:01 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/06/220607120501.htm 一些血压药物可能降低aneurysm rupture risk for people with high blood pressure //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/06/220603094902.htm A new study has found that RAAS inhibitors, a class of blood pressure-lowering medicine, may be better at reducing the risk of brain aneurysm rupture. People with a brain aneurysm -- a weakened area of a blood vessel -- who were being treated for high blood pressure with medication from the class of drugs called RAAS inhibitors had a significantly lower risk of a ruptured aneurysm compared to those who took other blood pressure medications. These results indicate that RAAS inhibitors may be preferable to other blood pressure-lowering medications and could inform treatment decisions for people with high blood pressure who have unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

A review of dozens of studies suggests that the optimal amount of omega-3 fatty acids to consume to lower blood pressure is likely about 3 grams daily. Consuming higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids may be beneficial for people at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease, though more research is needed researchers said. Wed, 01 Jun 2022 09:21:59 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/06/220601092159.htm Gut bacteria can make blood pressure medication less effective //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/05/220526095603.htm Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death in America. It's also one of the most common chronic conditions in the United States, with nearly half of U.S. adults considered hypertensive under current guidelines. Among those with high blood pressure, an estimated 20% have what's known as resistant hypertension, meaning their blood pressure remains high despite aggressive treatment. New research has shown gut bacteria can reduce the effectiveness of certain blood pressure drugs, potentially providing a pathway to developing new ways of overcoming treatment-resistant hypertension.

ABPM is designed to evaluate a person's blood pressure during daily living activities, including times of physical activity, sleep and stress. Mon, 23 May 2022 09:33:50 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/05/220523093350.htm Artery stiffness may predict Type 2 diabetes risk better than BP and standard risk factors //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2022/05/220516081712.htm Analysis of more than 11,000 people investigated whether high blood pressure or arterial stiffness may be a better predictor of future Type 2 diabetes risk. Results found that adults with increased arterial stiffness had a higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, regardless of their hypertension status when added to standard risk factors. More research is needed to determine the association among Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and arterial stiffness, and to provide insight into future prevention strategies to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
