Adults with stage 1 hypertension who practiced baduanjin—an eight-movement Chinese mind-body routine—had modest but measurable reductions in systolic blood pressure over three months that were maintained at one year, with results comparable to brisk walking, according to a randomized trial published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
A single, under-the-skin dose of the investigational RNA-interference drug zilebesiran lowered blood pressure when added to standard therapy in adults whose hypertension remained uncontrolled, according to results from the global Phase 2 KARDIA-2 trial of 663 participants published in JAMA.
