Review of Recent Advances in Hypertension Research (Phase 2)

High blood pressure has been called the silent killer. One in three adults worldwide has high blood pressure. It is caused by a complex interaction between genetics and lifestyle factors such as diet , weight , alcohol consumption , and exercise . Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for severe diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, aneurysms (such as aortic aneurysms), and peripheral artery disease. It is also a cause of chronic kidney disease. Even a mild increase in arterial blood pressure can shorten life expectancy. There are two kinds of blood pressure, systolic and diastolic . The normal range is 90 to 140 mm Hg and 60 to 90 mm Hg. In recent years, the study found that when the systolic blood pressure of 110 to 115 mm hg will increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease, the researchers at the University of Washington to reach this point but not systolic blood pressure of 140 mm hg crowd is defined as the "blood pressu

For the treatment of primary hypertension. Angiotensin II is converted from angiotensin I under the catalysis of the angiotensin enzyme. Angiotensin II is the main pressor of the renin-angiotensin system, which has many physiological functions, such as promoting vasoconstriction, stimulating aldosterone synthesis and release, stimulating the heart,, and promoting renal sodium reabsorption. Martin potassium is an angiotensin II receptor blocker independently developed by Takeda. It is an oral prodrug, which can be quickly metabolized into active ingredient azilsartan by esterase in the body during absorption. The latter can block the vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor in m

Hypertension is one of the main factors affecting global public health problems, and it is also the initiator of many fatal diseases. According to the survey, many families have home blood pressure monitoring equipment, but the latest research shows that the accuracy of home blood pressure monitoring equipment is very low, only about 30%. And believe that the test results are likely to make a wrong judgment In this study, scientists compared dozens of home blood pressure monitoring devices. They found that in 70% of cases, the detection results of these devices are not accurate. This research result has brought trouble to thousands of patients who measure blood pressure at home. What should we do? Before completely relying on home blood pressure testing equipment, we can first compare the reading of home equipment with that of hospital equipment, and the most important thing is to test several times, and judge our blood pressure value according to the results of multiple tests, and fin

Researchers use smoking behavior to identify genes that regulate blood pressure using a technology, researchers have opened the door to complexity analysis of the human genome and found dozens of new genetic variations that affect blood pressure. Scientists have discovered new gene regions and confirmed the role of many known gene regions by observing smoking behavior. Smoking is one of the many lifestyle factors that affect blood pressure. The study was initiated by the national heart, lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health, and published in the American Journal of human genetics. The researchers say its findings may eventually lead to the goal of individualized treatment of hypertension. Hypertension is the leading cause of disease and death worldwide, and the treatment of hypertension is a major public health priority.

Core tip: the recent results of the Anglo Scandinavian cardiac endpoint study (Ascot) are encouraging. The results strongly prove that the combination of new antihypertensive drugs is superior to traditional antihypertensive drugs, which provides a basis for the drug selection of antihypertensive treatment.

A few days ago, Professor Hu Dayi, a famous cardiovascular expert, and chairman of the evidence-based medicine professional committee of the Chinese Medical Association pointed out in an exclusive interview with people's Daily that the current new strategy for the treatment of hypertension should be to reduce blood pressure and lipid on one hand. Professor Hu said that the recent results of the Anglo Scandinavi
