Hypertension
USC scientists measure brain's microvascular pulses linked to Alzheimer's
AI에 의해 보고됨
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed the first noninvasive method to capture the rhythmic pulsing of the brain's tiniest blood vessels. Using advanced 7T MRI, they found these pulses strengthen with age and hypertension, potentially disrupting waste clearance and contributing to Alzheimer's disease. The findings, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, could lead to new biomarkers for neurodegenerative conditions.

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.
