Hypertension is not regarded as a defined disease, because it has been repeatedly shown that blood pressure is continuously distributed in the population, and hypertension most often represents only the upper end of the distribution. This is true for the majority of cases, namely those with ...
pharmacogenomics is expected to reach routine clinical practice in the next 5 to 10 years. Already, "DNA chips" the size of postage stamps are being developed that will use a blood test to predict if a patient is likely to do well on a...
High Blood Pressure Hypertension in overweight dogs is an area of recent interest among veterinary researchers. While we still don't fully understand the link between obesity and high blood pressure, we are closer to a more thorough understanding. That link has been studied for more than 25 year...
High blood pressure has long been identified as a factor in higher risks of heart disease and strokes, and makes more than a billion people around the globe in torment — including one out of three US adults. Blood pressure is recorded in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) as two numbers in a...
Heart Disease The incidence of heart disease ( heart attack, congestive heart failure, sudden cardiac death, angina or chest pain, and abnormal heart rhythm ) is increased in persons who are overweight or obese ( BMI > 25). High blood pressure is twice as common in adults who are obese th...
30-40% of Americans with high blood pressure also have sleep apnea. The increase in blood pressure is caused by falling oxygen levels alerting the brain to sends signals through the nervous system telling the blood vessels to "tighten up" in order to increase the flow of oxygen to the heart...

Unhealthy sleep in children has been linked to many negative health outcomes. Here, we are particularly highlighting its potential role in cardiometabolic factors. Cardiometabolic risk factors (e.g., obesity, high blood pressure, impaired fasting glucose, high triglyceride and low high-density lipoprote...
摘要: POVERTY and malnutrition are still very high in slums. This condition is associated with poor sanitation and stunting. Studies in adolescents with stunting showed, high susceptibility to gain central fat, lower fat oxidation, lower energy expenditure, higher blood pressure and impaired insulin ...
