Difficulty With Hearing And Blood Pressure In Geriatric Adults Overview This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the relationship between hearing function, as measured by pure-tone average (PTA) of air conduction thresholds, and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) in older adults. Conducted among 1404 community-dwelling individuals aged 65 years and above from the

Metabolic Syndrome Incidence In Patients Consuming A Processed Food Diet
Metabolic Syndrome Incidence In Patients Consuming A Processed Food Diet Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a collection of metabolic abnormalities, including insulin resistance, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and dyslipidemia, which significantly elevate the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The global incidence of MetS has surged, largely due to lifestyle
Alcohol Consumption And The Long-Term Risk Of Mortality
Alcohol Consumption And The Long-Term Risk Of Mortality Overview This study aims to update a previous systematic review by conducting a comprehensive analysis of meta-analyses published from January 1, 2017, to March 8, 2021, to quantify sex-specific dose–response risk relationships between chronic alcohol consumption and disease occurrence and mortality. The systematic search
Aprocitentan in resistant hypertension
Aprocitentan in resistant hypertension Since the 1960s, modern studies of hypertension and the availability of antihypertensive drugs have significantly improved blood pressure control. However, it has reached a plateau in high-income countries in the past decade. Many patients who have uncontrolled BP despite three antihypertensive treatments at optimal dose and from
Hypertension Screening for Cardiovascular Health
Hypertension Screening for Cardiovascular Health Introduction Hypertension is a contributing risk factor for cardiovascular health. In the recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, the main recommendation for antihypertensive treatment of patients was regarded by the future risk of cardiovascular (CV) mortality, CV disease, or total mortality. The guideline state that the
Blood pressure and CVD risk reduction
Blood pressure and CVD risk reduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of death worldwide, and in underdeveloped countries such as Haiti. It’s also found that among cardiovascular problems, hypertension is the leading risk factor. In this study, the researcher’s goal was to identify gaps in the hypertension continuum of
Community Hypertension and Atherosclerosis Risk
Community Hypertension and Atherosclerosis Risk Elevated blood pressure (BP) is considered one of the key risk factors in deaths caused by cardiovascular and renal problems. Despite the increase in awareness about hypertension and the advancements in treatment through the last decades, many patients still suffer from elevated BP while on treatment.
