Physiology Friday #215: Sitting Less Improves Blood Pressure

Physiologically Speaking

Even those of us who exercise for 1–2 hours per day still spend a large part of our day engaging in sedentary behavior (which, by the way, exercise doesn’t make us immune to). That’s better, but this behavioral category is missing the benefits of highly structured exercise.

Abstract 4143445: Regardless of age or gender, diet quality, smoking status, and, exercise are key to cardiovascular health

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4143445-A4143445, November 12, 2024. However, the moderating effects of age and gender on the relationship of diet quality, smoking status, and exercise to cardiovascular health are unknown. Introduction:Maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle is crucial for good cardiovascular health.

Exercise And Heart Health: Finding The Perfect Balance

MIBHS

Exercise and heart health— you’ve probably heard of the correlation before. Engaging in exercise can significantly contribute to maintaining a healthy heart and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. A stronger heart can pump more blood with less effort, reducing strain and stress on the cardiovascular system.

Abstract 4122543: Can We Diagnose Ticagrelor-induced Dyspnea After Urgent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing?

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4122543-A4122543, November 12, 2024. Exercise EKG, blood pressure response, SpO2and breathing reserve were normal. Background:Ticagrelor has been reported to cause shortness of breath (SOB) in 6 to 9 % of patients. Precise mechanisms are not enirely understood.

Investigators identify novel plasma proteins linked to future risk of hypertension

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Exercise testing can serve as a powerful physiologic probe to unmask subclinical cardiovascular abnormalities well before disease onset. For example, blood pressure changes during exercise (EBP) can reveal a latent tendency toward future development of hypertension.

The Ultimate Cardiovascular Health Guide

Physiologically Speaking

As we age, we have lower levels of nitric oxide (NO), leading to endothelial dysfunction , arterial stiffening, and a rise in blood pressure (hypertension) — three of the primary causes of cardiovascular disease. Some studies have shown the potential of NR in particular to reduce blood pressure and arterial stiffness.
