Blood pressure variations may predict the risk of stroke: episodic hypertension could be just as dangerous as consistent hypertension, new research suggests.(INTERNAL MEDICINE)Goldstein, Larry B
The findings suggest a role for stroke risk factors. Compared to white people, researchers found Asian American and Pacific Islander adults were more likely to havehigh blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and to have experienced an ischemic stroke, the most common type which is caused by a...
Cocaine, also known as “Blow,”“Coke,” and “Crack,” is a strongStimulantthat is used as a recreational drug. Cocaine use is associated withlong-term health risks, including heart disease, hypertension, organ failure, respiratory distress, stroke, unhealthy weight loss, and seizures. Accordi...
Studies did not show a consistent J-shaped relationship between treated blood pressure and stroke, but they did demonstrate a consistent J-shaped relationship for cardiac events and diastolic blood pressure. The beneficial therapeutic threshold point was 85 mm Hg. We conclude that low treated ...
Ketamine use by an individual with existing heart conditions “can lead to catastrophic outcomes,” perresearchers, via “increased heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure,” possibly resulting in stroke or myocardial ischemia (obstructed blood flow which can in turn cause a heart attack). ...
Elevations in blood pressure are postulated to be due to the mineralocorticoid-associated plasma volume expansion.6 Inhaled corticosteroids used in the long-term management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have the potential to produce many of the adverse effects associated with ...
This medicine works by changing the levels of certain chemicals in the brain. SSRIs have been associated with significant birth defects in babies when their mothers take these drugs while pregnant. Other research suggests that this class of drugs can cause the fetus to have high blood pressure ...
incident atrial fibrillation after adjusting for factors that could potentially affect the relationship, including age, sex, ethnicity, body mass index, daily alcohol consumption, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, diabetes,high blood pressure, high blood lipids, socioeconomic status, and enrollment ...
Controlling sleep apnea with proper treatment has been shown tolower other associated health risks, such as heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. The same could be true for cancer risk, though more research is needed to know for sure, said Namen. The recent study did not look at whether treat...
the atmospheres pressure of low oxygen had direct effect on the saturation levels of blood oxygen. The blood oxygen saturation at the sea level is about 98%-99%; while it is between 85% and 87% at the base camp. At the summit, the blood oxygen saturation is very low. It has a side...
