One of the assessments for coronary atherosclerosis during cardiac computed tomography (CT) is coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. We found that a history of hypertension and diabetes are independent determinants of having a high-risk CAC score. This study involved a total of 1,129 female patients from a single centre.

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. Vascular inflammation underlies the development of hypertension, and the mechanisms by which it increases blood pressure remain the topic of intense investigation. Here, we briefly review factors that drive the initiation and progression of this vasculopathy in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Maintaining cardiovascular health reduces the risk of developing various heart diseases, including heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure. Factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle significantly increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Patient’s aphasia and hemiparesis worsened with segmental hypoperfusion which resolved by maintaining high blood pressures with norepinephrine drip.
