New trial sparks debate over treatment of diabetic hypertensives
A major new international study published in the Journal of Hypertension (July 21 2004) has challenged traditional thinking by revealing that the thiazide-like diuretic indapamide SR (Natrilix SR) has equivalent efficacy to enalapril in reducing microalbuminuria (MA) in patients with type 2 diabetes. The NESTOR (Natrilix SR versus Enalapril Study... view more... (2004-07-21)

Double Duty: Loss of Protective Heart Failure Protein Causes High Blood Pressure
Scientists at the Center for Translational Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found that a protein that appears to have protective and perhaps healing effects for failing hearts also plays a similar role in high blood pressure. view more (2008-05-06)

Chronic Disease Sufferers To Benefit From New 'At Home' Diagnostic Device
People who suffer from chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma and heart problems should benefit from a new remote, home care monitoring system that could also bring an end to overcrowded waiting rooms. With project partners in Estonia, Latvia and the UK facing research costs of over EUR2 million, the development of... view more... (2004-07-21)
