purpose to investigate the effects of a 10-week water aerobic exercise on the resting blood pressure in patients with stage 1 or 2 hypertension referring to tehran university clinics. methods forty men with stage 1 or 2 essential hypertension were assigned to two groups of intervention [n = 12; aged 48.33±10.74 years (mean±sd)] and control [n = 28; aged 46.96±11.58 years (mean±sd)]. subjects in...

The occurrence of pregnancy induced hypertension in low-income young nulliparous women is confirmed in different reports and increase the risk of preeclampsia. More knowledge on the role of nutrients especially calcium demonstrates its major role in regulating blood pressure. Sufficient intake of pregnancy can prevent pregnancy induced hypertension. This study was conducted to evaluate efficacy...

BACKGROUND Among individuals without hypertension based on clinic blood pressure (BP), it is unclear who should be screened for masked hypertension, defined as having hypertension based on out-of-clinic BP. We hypothesized that individuals with a higher 10-year predicted atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, calculated using the pooled cohort risk equations, have a higher prevale...

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of mortality, and hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease in all ages. The Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program (SHEP) trial has shown that the pharmacologic reduction of isolated systolic hypertension can significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular complications. The aim of the Italian multicenter study reported...

Aim To study at what age group blood pressure ceases to increase for women and men Methods Applying change-point technique, we used our existing database mega base-line cross-sectional Hulu Langat Health Study that was initiated in 2000 to locate the most appropriate age limit in planning promotive, preventive and controlling strategies against systolic hypertension. Results Systolic hypertensi...

OBJECTIVES Both aging and hypertension are significant risk factors for heart failure in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine how aging, with and without hypertension, affects left ventricular function. METHODS Cross-sectional study of magnetic resonance imaging and 31P spectroscopy-based measurements of left ventricular structure, global function, strains, pulse wave veloc...
