New And More Effective Method To Treat High Blood Pressure

Scientists have developed a new strategy for treating high blood pressure. Unlike conventional methods, this approach of treatment may be much more effective.

The key to treating blood pressure might lie in people who are "resistant" to developing high blood pressure even when they eat high salt diets, shows new research published today in Experimental Physiology.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PAH] - Symptoms & Signs - Causes - Diagnosis - Treatment
Pulmonary arterial hypertension can be a serious condition affecting the heart. It is defined as mean pulmonary arterial pressure >25mm Hg at rest and >30mm Hg on exertion.

With 1 in 4 adults suffering from high blood pressure in the UK and over 1.1 billion people across the globe, it is one of the biggest unsolved global public health issues to date. High blood pressure is also the leading cause of several other diseases, including chronic kidney disease, stroke, and heart disease.

While some peoples' blood pressure spikes when they eat high-salt diets, others, called salt-resistant, are able to get rid of salt more effectively and thus don't experience changes in blood pressure. One way to combat blood pressure would be to mimic what these people are doing to avoid high blood pressure.

Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine looked at how cells in a specific part of the brain (called the hypothalamus) controlled salt-resistance and found a structural change in the cells that allow for them to change their response to salt.

Recent Approaches in Hypertension and Diabetes
Hypertension is defined as blood pressure is greater than equal to 140/90 mm Hg. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by increased blood sugar.

Commenting on the study, first author Jesse Moreira said: "Our findings have implications for the development of personalized anti? hypertensive therapeutics designed to target the pathway involved in changing cells to bring about salt-resistance in the body."

White-coat Syndrome | White-coat Hypertension Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment
White-coat syndrome is an increase in blood pressure only in a clinical setting, due to a fear of doctors and needles. The symptoms include weight gain and increased risk of diabetes among others.
