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.

What happens to blood pressure when we stand up ?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Many times , an Innocuous question poses a real challenge, to our life time understanding of circulatory physiology. In patients with associated supine hypertension, the criteria for orthostatic hypotension allows for a drop of at least 30 mm Hg in SBP or 15 mm Hg in DBP. Can you discuss the answer to the question please ? Reference 1.Wahba

Histone Modifications and Their Contributions to Hypertension

Hypertension Journal

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. Essential hypertension, a multifaceted disorder, is a worldwide health problem. A complex network of genetic, epigenetic, physiological, and environmental components regulates blood pressure (BP), and any dysregulation of this network may result in hypertension.
