A 12-week metyrapone regimen lowers blood pressure and reduces epicardial fat in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion, suggesting cardiovascular improvements without altering cardiac morphology or function.
The DASH4D diet, a diabetes-adapted version of the DASH eating plan, significantly improves blood pressure and blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes with hypertension, offering a strong evidence-based dietary recommendation for personalize
Lower systemic blood pressure, especially minimum values measured over 24 hours, is associated with accelerated retinal nerve fiber layer loss in primary open-angle glaucoma, highlighting the prognostic value of ambulatory BP monitoring.
A multicenter RCT demonstrates remote blood pressure monitoring reduces antenatal visits and hospital admissions without compromising maternal or fetal outcomes in women at high risk of preeclampsia.
This meta-analysis of 87 randomized trials finds that increasing whole-grain intake is associated with improved cardiometabolic risk factors including reduced body weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure, particularly at daily intakes of 60
This cluster-randomized trial in rural China demonstrates that a coordinated community- and family-based intervention effectively lowers systolic blood pressure at the population level, highlighting the importance of sustained community eng
In patients with OSA and elevated blood pressure, comorbid insomnia is linked to a significantly greater blood pressure reduction following short-term CPAP therapy, highlighting the clinical importance of addressing both sleep disorders.
A 24-month randomized trial found that exercise, intensive blood pressure and cholesterol control, or both together did not significantly improve cognitive function in older adults at increased risk for dementia.
A study finds bradykinin modestly contributes to blood pressure reduction with sacubitril/valsartan in chronic heart failure, highlighting ANP’s role in initial effects and bradykinin’s influence during chronic therapy.
Researchers identify HEG1 as a critical flow-sensitive endothelial protein that regulates blood pressure through CUL3-mediated degradation of PHACTR1, linking reduced shear stress in hypertension to impaired NO production and vascular dysfu
A landmark South Korean study of 2.8 million adults reveals that both elevated blood pressure and hypertension significantly increase dementia risk, particularly vascular dementia, with stronger effects observed in midlife adults and women.
An exploratory analysis of the PATS randomized trial found early adenotonsillectomy reduced 12‑month systolic and diastolic BP percentiles versus watchful waiting in children with mild obstructive sleep‑disordered breathing, with larger DBP
A single‑centre randomized trial in China found that 7 days of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) reduced average systolic BP by about 4.8 mm Hg versus sham in patients with essential hypertension (SBP ≥140 mm Hg), with good tolerability.
A factorial RCT in food-insecure adults with hypertension found that healthy food subsidies modestly reduced blood pressure compared with delivered food boxes, while lifestyle counseling and longer duration showed no added benefit.
This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates that flavan-3-ol-rich foods significantly lower blood pressure and improve endothelial function, supporting their role in cardiovascular prevention, especially in individuals with elevat
In-home HEPA air purifiers significantly reduce systolic blood pressure by 3.0 mm Hg in adults living near highways with elevated baseline BP, highlighting a practical intervention to mitigate cardiovascular risk from particulate pollution.
Intravenous antihypertensive use within 24 hours after successful EVT in acute ischemic stroke associates with poorer functional outcomes and higher mortality, underscoring the need for cautious blood pressure management strategies post-thr
The large-scale COSMOS trial reveals that while long-term cocoa extract supplementation does not reduce overall incident hypertension in older adults, it significantly lowers risk among individuals with normal baseline systolic blood pressu
Isometric exercises, a form of static muscle engagement, can lower blood pressure as effectively as some medications, offering a simple, drug-free way to protect your heart and vessels.
A randomized trial in China shows that a 12-month mobile message-based intervention modestly improves HbA1c and systolic blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, supporting mHealth strategies to manage cardiovascular ri
