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.
USC-forskare mäter hjärnans mikrovasculära pulser kopplade till Alzheimers
Rapporterad av AI
Forskare vid University of Southern California har utvecklat den första icke-invasiva metoden för att fånga hjärnans minsta blodkärl rytmiska pulsering. Med avancerad 7T MRT fann de att dessa pulser stärks med ålder och hypertoni, vilket potentiellt stör avfallsrensning och bidrar till Alzheimers sjukdom. Resultaten, publicerade i Nature Cardiovascular Research, kan leda till nya biomarkörer för neurodegenerativa tillstånd.
