A single mechanism for hypertension, insulin resistance and immune suppression
Many of the 75 million Americans with essential hypertension also develop diabetes and other complications in addition to their high blood pressure, and researchers have discovered a common molecular mechanism in a strain of rat that explains why such metabolic disorders arise together in mammals. view more (2008-06-30)
Women with high or increasing blood pressure are up to three times more likely to develop diabetes
One of the largest studies to investigate the relationship between blood pressure and type 2 diabetes has found that women who have high blood pressure levels are three times more likely to develop diabetes than women with low blood pressure levels. view more (2007-10-10)
Testosterone Replacement Therapy: How Safe For Aging Men?

More recently, testosterone (the most important male hormone) supplements have been used by aging men to improve their muscle mass, bone strength, libido and quality of life. view more (2007-08-09)
For kids with high blood pressure, surgery can help when medicines fail
High blood pressure may seem like something that only adults get, after years of smoking, overeating and little exercise. But children can develop it too - and just as in adults, uncontrolled high blood pressure can pose serious risks to children's hearts, brains and lives. view more (2007-01-02)
Study Finds Gender Differences In Renal And Other Genes
Many common diseases exhibit gender bias and gender differences have been observed in the development of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart (cardiovascular) disease. view more (2007-08-09)
High blood pressure patients advised to use home monitors
People with hypertension should routinely monitor their blood pressure at home to help manage the disease, according to a new joint scientific statement from the American Heart Association, American Society of Hypertension and the Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses' Association. view more (2008-05-23)
Men with hypertension who drink moderate amounts of alcohol may have a lower risk of heart attack
Hypertension affects some 65 million people in the United States, making it a massive public health burden. It's associated with a twofold increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and total mortality. view more (2007-01-02)
UCSF marks a milestone with 500th transplant in heart and lung program
UCSF marked a milestone this week with the 500th procedure in its Thoracic Transplant Program, which specializes in transplantation of the heart and lung. view more (2008-04-25)
Sleep Apnea Increases Heart Disease Risk
Obstructive sleep apnea, or periodic interruptions in breathing throughout the night, thickens sufferers' blood vessels. Moreover, it increases the risk of several forms of heart and vascular disease. view more (2009-05-05)
`White coat effect` has adverse effect on blood pressure readings
GPs should not make decisions about treating patients with hypertension based on high readings of blood pressure they have taken, finds a study in this week`s BMJ. Instead, researchers recommend the use of home measurements by the patient or repeated measurements by a nurse, to counter the `white coat` effect. The aim of the research was to assess... view more... (2002-07-31)
New light shed on the enigma of salt intake and hypertension
A high salt intake has been implicated in cardiovascular disease risk for 5000 years. But salt-sensitive hypertension still remains an enigma. view more (2009-05-04)
High blood pressure linked to earlier death among African-American breast cancer patients
A study by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco has shown that hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a predictor of mortality among breast cancer patients, especially those who are African-American, and that hypertension accounts for approximately 30 percent of the survival disparity between African-American and white... view more...

New information about how fat increases blood pressure could help identify those at risk
Some of the first information about how fat causes hypertension have been identified by researchers who say the findings should one day help identify which obese people - and maybe some thin ones too - are at risk for hypertension and which drugs would work best for them. view more (2009-09-01)
New survey shows allergies dramatically impact sufferers' moods and how they feel about themselves

UVa Researchers Demonstrate Value for the First Genetic Test for High Blood Pressure and Sensitivity to Salt
Researchers led by UVa Health System pathologist Robin Felder, Ph.D., have demonstrated that looking for several variations of genes that control blood pressure can predict the risk for high blood pressure caused by high levels of salt. view more (2006-02-23)
University of Maryland researchers identify common gene variant linked to high blood pressure
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine have identified a common gene variant that appears to influence people's risk of developing high blood pressure, according to the results of a study being published online Dec. 29, 2008 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). view more (2008-12-30)
