5th International Conference on Hypertension & Healthcare

Following the success of the previous conferences, we are excited to announce that “5th International Conference on Hypertension & Healthcare” will be held during October 18-19, 2018 at the most beautifully crafted city of Abu Dhabi, UAE. The theme of our conference is “Exploring the new horizons to cure Hypertension & Cardiac diseases”. Hypertension Meeting 2018 will be an international meeting concentrating on the Hot Research fronts and major advances in the ever-expanding field of Hypertension & Healthcare by attracting experts on a global scale.
This year, we also hope to bring together experiences from different countries and exchange their views, reinforce knowledge base, and learn new concepts. With the contribution of outstanding international experts, we hope prolific discussions would rouse new creative ideas to translate new detections into better diagnosis and treatment of Cardiac Diseases. We sincerely invite you to join us in this very informative annual conference and collaborate in the global action in reducing the burden of Hypertension & cardiovascular diseases. Your attendance will add value to the conference and very much appreciated.

Hypertension, also called high blood pressure is a long term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is frequently elevated. High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms.  Long term high blood pressure is a main risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, vision loss, and chronic kidney disease. It is classified as either primary (essential) high blood pressure or secondary high blood pressure. About 90–95% of cases are primary hypertension, instigated due to nonspecific lifestyle and genetic factors.
Lifestyle issues that surge the risk constitute excess body weight, excess salt, smoking and alcohol. The rest 5–10% of cases is labelled as secondary hypertension, defined as high blood pressure due to an identifiable cause, like chronic kidney disease, narrowing of the kidney arteries, a hormone-related disorder, or the use of birth control pills. Blood pressure is calculated by two measurements, the systolic and diastolic blood pressures, these are the maximum and minimum pressures, respectively. At rest, normal blood pressure is within the range of 100–140 mm of mercury (mmHg) during systole and 60–90 mmHg diastole.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a leading contributor to heart disease and stroke, two diseases which together account for 1 in 5 premature deaths (under age 65). In the past decade, the prevalence of hypertension has increased by 11%. Today, over 1 in 4 adults (estimated 1.8 million people) report having hypertension. Diagnosing and treating high blood pressure with lifestyle counselling and with the right medications can prevent hospital admissions, heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and premature death. Although genetics plays a role, it is clear that lifestyle and diet are a major component. It is often a silent manifestation of underlying untreated medical, behavioural or social conditions. Education, periodic early screening and lifestyle modification significantly delay and even prevent the onset of the disease. Realizing the importance to explore latest research advancements in Hypertension treatment, Cardiology Conference series is organizing the 5 th Inter...

Can Renal Denervation control Resistant Hypertension??

Can Renal Denervation control Resistant Hypertension?? It is well known fact that if hypertension is not treated on time then it can turn into resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension refers to the condition where blood pressure remains high even after taking three antihypertensive agents of different classes. After various studies it has been seen that renal denervation can lower the blood pressure in hypertensive Patients who are not taking medications. Renal denervation is less painful, endovascular catheter based procedure which uses radio frequency or ultrasound ablation. This procedure removes the nerves in the wall of renal artery by radio frequency pulses or ultrasound. Due to this there is reduction of afferent and efferent activity to the kidney and as a result blood pressure can be reduced. Basically renal denervation provides energy to the kidney nerves and regulates the blood pressure. Studies were conducted to check the efficacy...

Causes Of Hypertension

Causes Of Hypertension Hypertension , also called high blood pressure is a long term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is frequently elevated. The force with which blood is pushed against the walls of blood vessel is blood pressure. When the blood pressure rises measurement rises above the normal range then it is a condition of high blood pressure, also called hypertension, which is considered as a dangerous condition as in this condition heart have to work harder to pump blood. It also leads to hardening of arteries, stroke, heart failure , loss of vision, kidney disease, sexual problems and many more. The exact cause of hypertension is still not known but it can be caused due to various reasons like: Smoking - smoking of cigarette is one of the major causes of hypertension. Nicotine increases the blood pressure and damages the blood vessel. It increases the heart rate and hence cause the arteries to narrow and constrict. If the blood flow tha...
