The authors of a recent study sought to examine the continued validity of lifelong trajectories in peak systolic and diastolic blood pressure responses during maximal cardiopulmonary exercise in men and...
Currently, it is unclear whether blood pressure stabilizes or decreases in later life. In a new study, researchers investigated whether blood pressure trajectories were reflective of increasing age or time...
High blood pressure is the most significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality worldwide. In a recent study, researchers aimed to determine the ideal cutoff for the treatment of high blood...
The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new option to treat dangerously low blood pressure in adult patients with septic or other distributive shock.
Extracranial and intracranial cerebral atherosclerosis are both important risk factors for stroke. However, little is currently known about their association with interarm systolic and diastolic blood...
While studies have demonstrated the separate positive effects of sodium reduction and the DASH diet on blood pressure and cholesterol, few have reported on the combined benefits of these interventions. ...
In a recent study, researchers assessed the accuracy of several blood pressure thresholds in diagnosing hypertension via home blood pressure measurements.
According to the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), intensive blood pressure treatment is associated with higher rates of adverse events vs standard treatment, despite its beneficial...
In a recent study, researchers assessed the impact of body weight on blood pressure levels throughout one’s lifetime. Findings were presented at the American Heart Association’s Joint Scientific Sessions...
A recent study investigated the effects of intensive systolic blood pressure treatment on cardiovascular outcomes among participants with prediabetes and normoglycemia.
