The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced healthcare systems, particularly in the areas of non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension, where the majority of patients require medication therapy and frequent visits. The postal medicine delivery (PMD) approach was an innovative solution to keep ...
(SBP <120 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg), elevated (120 mmHg ≤SBP ≤129 mmHg and DBP <80 mmHg), stage1 hypertension (130 mmHg ≤SBP ≤139 mmHg or 80 mmHg ≤DBP ≤89 mmHg), and stage 2 hypertension (SBP ≥140 mmHg/DBP ≥90 mmHg or taking antihypertensive ...
Hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≥130 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥80 mmHg or previous physician diagnosis of hypertension or the taking of antihypertensive medication. Abdominal obesity was defined as a waist circumference of ≥102 cm in men and ≥88 cm in women. Results: Among 16,032 ...
The present work reports a clinical case of medication of a senile woman having isolated systolic hypertension Stage 3 complicated by gout. The uniqueness of this case is due to the absence of possible medication in the current Guidelines and other medical literary sources. Consequently, the possibi...
What Is Beta-blockers Medication? Beta-blockers are another drug class used to treat hypertension. They block the effects of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart. This reduces the workload of the heart by requiring less blood and oxygen, which slows the heart rate. They can be used...
” Travioli insisted the problem was real, so he referred her to a cardiologist, who “diagnosed me pretty quick” with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), which is high blood pressure in the lungs that eventually builds up so much it causes heart failure. A rare disease, it was not ...
(46 ± 3 years) hypertensive volunteers, deprived of antihypertensive medication (reaching 153 ± 6/93 ± 2 mm Hg systolic/diastolic BP after a 6-week medication washout period) were submitted to a 12-week conventional RE training program (3 sets of 12 repetitions at 60% 1 repetition ...
Time-restricted eating (TRE), a popular form of intermittent fasting, has shown benefits for improving metabolic diseases and cardiometabolic health. However, the effect of TRE in the regulation of blood pressure in primary hypertension remains unclear.
Reduction in long-term antihypertensive medication require- ments: effects of weight reduction by dietary intervention in overweight persons with mild hypertension. Arch Intern Med 1993; 153: 1773–1782. 22 Sharma AM, Golay A. Effect of orlistat-induced weight loss on blood pressure and heart ...
First, the elevated central venous pressure resultant from heart failure may lead to renal venous hypertension, increased renal resistance, impaired intrarenal blood flow and, ultimately decline in filtration function [6, 23]. An early study showed that renal blood flow was dramatically decreased in ...
