UrduYears of high systolic blood pressure are linked to a greater risk for the two most common types of stroke. The results suggest that early diagnosis and sustained control of high blood pressure over the lifespan are critical to preventing stroke, especially in Black and Hispanic patients who are more likely to have uncontrolled hypertension.

Fluctuating blood pressure: a warning sign for dementia and heart disease
The link between high blood pressure and a range of health problems is well known, and Australian researchers have now found that fluctuating blood pressure can be just as risky and a potential precursor to dementia and vascular disease.
Checking blood pressure in a heartbeat, using artificial intelligence and a camera
Australian and Iraqi engineers have designed a system to remotely measure blood pressure by filming a person’s forehead and extracting cardiac signals using artificial intelligence algorithms.
Exercise Improves Health Markers in Young Female Survivors of Childhood Trauma
New research shows a progressive exercise training program mitigates some physiological and psychological effects of adverse childhood experiences in otherwise healthy young women. The study will be presented at the American Physiological Society annual meeting at Experimental Biology 2022.
Final results of SPRINT study confirm controlling blood pressure critically important in preventing heart disease and stroke
News release about the follow-up data from the landmark SPRINT study of the effect of high blood pressure on cardiovascular disease have confirmed that aggressive blood pressure management — lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mm Hg — dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death from these diseases, as well as death from all causes, compared to lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 140 mm Hg.
Spikes in Blood Pressure Among Young Adults Spell Trouble in Mid-Age
Wide swings in blood pressure readings among young adults are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease by middle age, a new analysis led by Duke Health researchers shows.
The finding, publishing Jan. 22 in JAMA Cardiology, suggests that the current practice of averaging blood pressure readings to determine whether medications are necessary could be masking a potential early warning sign from the fluctuations themselves.
