Baxdrostat Effective for Hypertension
A new study revealed that Baxdrostat significantly reduces blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension. The findings challenge existing treatments and suggest a new option for managing this condition. Results were highlighted as part of recent medical advancements.
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.
Cientistas da USC medem pulsos microvasculares do cérebro ligados ao Alzheimer
Reportado por IA
Pesquisadores da University of Southern California desenvolveram o primeiro método não invasivo para capturar o pulso rítmico dos menores vasos sanguíneos do cérebro. Usando MRI 7T avançado, eles descobriram que esses pulsos se fortalecem com a idade e hipertensão, potencialmente interrompendo a eliminação de resíduos e contribuindo para a doença de Alzheimer. As descobertas, publicadas na Nature Cardiovascular Research, podem levar a novos biomarcadores para condições neurodegenerativas.
