Hipertensi
Ilmuwan USC mengukur denyut mikrovasculer otak yang terkait dengan Alzheimer
Peneliti di University of Southern California telah mengembangkan metode non-invasif pertama untuk menangkap denyut berirama dari pembuluh darah terkecil di otak. Menggunakan MRI 7T canggih, mereka menemukan denyut ini semakin kuat seiring usia dan hipertensi, berpotensi mengganggu pembersihan limbah dan berkontribusi pada penyakit Alzheimer. Temuan, yang diterbitkan di Nature Cardiovascular Research, dapat mengarah pada biomarker baru untuk kondisi neurodegeneratif.

New tool enhances accuracy of ankle blood pressure measurements
Researchers at the University of Exeter have developed a predictive model and online calculator to estimate arm blood pressure from ankle readings, aiding those unable to use standard arm tests. The innovation, based on data from over 33,000 people, could reduce misdiagnoses for thousands globally. Published in BMJ Open, the method addresses a key gap in hypertension management.
