With the right amount, timing, and quality, it can work wonders -- strengthen the immune system, improve blood sugar, even decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes. New research seeks answers.
milla1cf Thu, 06/20/2024 - 19:40 June 20, 2024 — A programing algorithm, being tested by HonorHealth Research Institute for those patients with new or recently installed pacemakers, is designed so the device not only provides a steady heartbeat, but also controls high bloodpressure. It’s very promising.
Research Highlights: Black women who develop high bloodpressure before age 35 may have triple the odds of having a stroke, and those who develop high bloodpressure before age 45 may have twice the risk of suffering a subsequent stroke. The findings,

Early identification of stroke type could be key to harnessing the benefits of very early in-ambulance bloodpressure lowering treatment in patients with suspected acute stroke, according to new research.
In middle-aged people, having risk factors like bloodpressure, blood sugar and cholesterol that are not well-controlled combined with not following certain healthy habits including exercise, diet and sleep, are linked to a higher risk of stroke, dementia or depression later in life, according to a new study.

Middle-aged adults with three or more unhealthy traits including slightly high waist circumference, bloodpressure, cholesterol and glucose have heart attacks and strokes two years earlier than their peers, according to new research.
Additionally, this risk was higher among Black American adults than white American adults, according to a study funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health. Over a period of 9.5 years 24% of Black adults developed the condition compared with 15.9% of white adults.
A study coordinated by Dr. Francesc Jiménez-Altayó, researcher at the Institut de Neurociències of the UAB (INc-UAB) and at CIBERCV, shows that temporary lack of blood flow to the brain can lead to lasting changes in the small arteries of the abdomen in rats with high bloodpressure.
Mount Sinai researchers have identified a key driver of a blood vessel disorder known as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) which affects up to 5% of the adult population and can lead to high bloodpressure, heart attack, or stroke.
Youth with high bloodpressure are nearly four times more likely to be at long-term risk of serious heart conditions including stroke and heart attack, according to a new study. The research, led by McMaster University, will be presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) 2024 Meeting, held May 2–6 in Toronto.
Clinical information, parameters from left ventricular myocardial work and traditional two - dimensional strain echocardiography were collected and analyzed.ResultsAfter LSG, significant reductions in body mass index (BMI), diastolic bloodpressure (DBP) and weight were observed.

A medication often used to treat high bloodpressure and prevent migraines was associated with a reduction in ischemic stroke risk among women using the drug for migraine prevention, according to a preliminary study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2025, held in Los Angeles, Feb.
The American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association. The American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association. This study shows that people with stroke can also benefit from high-intensity interval training,” said Kevin Moncion, Ph.D., mL/kg/min. “We
and the first on the West Coast to use a new device aimed at lowering bloodpressure in patients with difficult-to-treat hypertension. Patients with treatment-resistant high bloodpressure often take upward of four medications to manage their condition,” Rader said. Food and Drug Administration approved it in late 2023.
Adults younger than 35 to 45 years old may have a higher risk of developing a stroke from nontraditional risk factors such as migraines than from traditional risks like high bloodpressure. That's according to new research published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
Introduction COVID-19 may lead to long-term endothelial consequences including hypertension, stroke and myocardial infarction. A pilot study ‘COVID-19 bloodpressure endothelium interaction study’, which found that patients with normal bloodpressure (BP) at the time of hospital admission with COVID-19 showed an 8.6

Introduction Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is implicated in half of all strokes and myocardial infarctions. One-third of the adults in Scotland have hypertension yet only a quarter of them have their bloodpressure (BP) controlled to target (<140/90 mm Hg).
Researchers have developed a new way of identifying patients at risk of an irregular heartbeat, known as 'atrial fibrillation'. While not life threatening, the condition increases people's risk of having a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or stroke by up to five times.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP110-ATMP110, February 1, 2025. MNPs are emerging as a potential risk factor for cerebrovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke in recent clinical study. However, the relationship between MNPs exposure and ischemic stroke is not well elucidated.

Introduction:Prior research has suggested that psychiatric disease, particularly bipolar disorder, may increase the risk of cardiovascular events and stroke.Methods:We performed a post-hoc analysis of the Systolic BloodPressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT).
Research has increasingly shown that quality sleep plays a pivotal role in heart health. Sleep deprivation or poor sleep can lead to an increased risk of developing conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
These groundbreaking developments offer a paradigm shift in the management of resistant hypertension, especially when it is extremely difficult to achieve bloodpressure control through conventional means, such as lifestyle modifications and various drug therapies.
BackgroundPrior research suggests clinical effects of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) and sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are mediated by changes in glycated hemoglobin, body weight, systolic bloodpressure, hematocrit, and urine albumin‐creatinine ratio.
Introduction:Blood pressure targets for the elderly are still controversial, there is a lack of certainty about the benefit and safety of targeting ≤ 130mmHg systolic bloodpressure. The mean achieved bloodpressure was roughly under 130mmHg, only one study was over (135mmHg) and the mean follow-up time was over 32 months.

Results Out of 43 154 AF patients, who were at high risk of stroke, 13 283 (30.8%) did not receive anticoagulation at baseline. to 1.76)) but lower all-cause mortality (aHR 0.59 (95% CI 0.43
Key Research Modern research starting in the 60s helped to graduate the Mediterranean diet into the medical community. We have much to gain by adjusting our food choices, choices that can help to make meaningful improvements towards reducing cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, and high bloodpressure.

The new findings offer evidence that a web-based process allowing nonprescription access to statins could facilitate safe and effective use of the drugs, according to researchers. The assessment required users to enter information about demographics, medication use, medical history, and cholesterol and bloodpressure levels.
