New Study Reveals 65 and Older Population Lowered Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, and Weight Using Mobile Technology

DAIC

Eighty percent of heart attacks and strokes are preventable. partially because its key risk factor, high blood pressure, is a ‘silent killer,’ and most patients have no symptoms before their first heart attack or stroke. The monitor and app recorded blood pressure, heart rate, and the appearance of irregular heartbeat.

Intensive Blood Pressure Treatment Shows Benefits for High-Risk Patients

Cardiology Update

A study published in The Lancet reveals that targeting a systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg significantly reduces cardiovascular events in high-risk patients, compared to the standard target of less than 140 mm Hg. Key Findings – Blood Pressure Levels: The mean systolic blood pressure during follow-up was 119.1

Twenty-four-hour blood pressure trajectories and clinical outcomes in patients who had an acute ischaemic stroke

Heart BMJ

Objective The management of blood pressure (BP) in acute ischaemic stroke remains a subject of controversy. This investigation aimed to explore the relationship between 24-hour BP patterns following ischaemic stroke and clinical outcomes. to 1.10), 0.70 (0.53 to 0.93), 0.64 (0.47 to 0.86) and 0.47 (0.33

Influence of Time to Achieve Target Systolic Blood Pressure on Outcome After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The Blood Pressure in Acute Stroke Collaboration

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. The primary outcome was functional status measured by the modified Rankin Scale at 90 to 180 days. Earlier SBP control was associated with better functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score, 3–6; odds ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.97–0.99]) SD, 13.0], 2120 [36.8%] females) were included in analyses.

Using Cox proportional hazards regression, we tested interactions between history of cancer and intensive blood pressure control on major cardiovascular outcomes.RESULTS:The study included a total of 9336 patients, with a mean age of 67.9±9.4 years, 561 primary cardiovascular outcomes were observed. Over a median follow-up of 3.2
