atherosclerosis of aorta treatment :: Article Creator Disturbed Blood Flow Can Damage The Vessel Wall In Cases Of Aortic Dilation Abnormal blood flow in the aorta is linked to inflammation and breakdown of the vessel wall in conditions where the aorta is dilated. This is shown in a study led by researchers at Linköping University. The findings can contribute to better diagnosis and open up new ways to assess the risk of serious and usually fatal complications, such as rupture of the aorta. All blood in the body passes through the heart about once a minute. With every heartbeat, blood from the heart is pumped up into the aorta. Dilation can occur in all parts of the aorta. It is unclear exactly how this happens, but one explanation may be weakening of the connective tissue in the vessel wall. Factors such as elevated blood pressure, age and various hereditary conditions increase the risk. A person affected by aortic dilation usually does not notice...

secondary arterial hypertension :: Article Creator As PAH Science Advances, Trial Design Comes Under Microscope Investigators are considering how best to interpret the results of potential new therapies. The science of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has advanced significantly in recent years. However, as the push for new and better therapies gains momentum, clinical trial investigators are thinking long and hard about how best to demonstrate and interpret patient improvement. One issue has to do with the question of which end points are best to meaningfully track patient responses to therapies. Marius Hoeper, MD, of Germany's Hannover Medical School, said in clinical practice, physicians tend to use a variety of measures to track patient improvement.

pre hypertension :: Article Creator Can Naturopathy & Yoga Alleviate Prehypertension? Stage 1 hypertension, often termed prehypertension, indicates systolic (top number) readings between 120 mmHg and 139 mmHg, or diastolic (bottom number) readings between 80 mmHg and 89 mmHg. Prehypertension serves as an important warning sign, signalling the likelihood of developing high blood pressure in the future. Elevated blood pressure significantly amplifies the risk of severe health complications, including heart attack, stroke, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and kidney failure. While there is no outright cure for high blood pressure, proactive measures can effectively manage and mitigate its progression. Naturopathy and yoga offer a holistic approach to address prehypertension.  Identifying underlying causes: Naturopathic doctors conduct thorough assessments to identify the underlying factors contributing to prehypertension.
