Both hypertension and obesity, as necessary public health challenges that are increasing worldwide. Obesity is progressively recognized as one of the foremost necessary risk factors for the development of hypertension. Excess weight is the most significant risk tributary to the burden of illness. Obesity and in particular central obesity have been consistently related to hypertension and cardiovascular risk. Hypertension can be directly attributed to obesity. People with a body mass index (BMI) of thirty or higher are considered obese. “Obesity” is described as the health condition of anyone considerably above his or her ideal healthy weight. Don’t be discouraged by the term. It suggests you are 20% above your ideal weight. Being obese puts you at risk for health problems like heart issue, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and more. Obesity statistics ·          Almost 13 million (16.9%) of U.S. children ages 2 to 19 are ob...

Children having a high blood pressure? While a majority of the conversation about high blood pressure (HBP or hypertension) centres on adults, children of all ages, from birth to teens, can have high blood pressure. Just like high blood pressure in adults, there are often no symptoms and early diagnosis and treatment are key. High blood pressure in children can arise from several risk factors or it can be secondary  hypertension , resulting from an underlying health condition. Secondary hypertension in children: Certain diseases as well as some medications can cause high blood pressure in children. Hereditary or lifestyle-related factors: Even though the exact cause is not diagnosed, doctors realize a variety of factors can contribute to the condition, Including: ·           Family history ·           Excess weight or obesity For children with pediatri...

PULMONARY HYPERTENSION: TREATMENT CAN HELP LESSEN SYMPTOMS Blood pressure in the lungs is a different measurement than blood pressure throughout the rest of the body. Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is one of the circulatory systems that is high blood pressure in the heart-to-lung system that delivers fresh (oxygenated) blood to the heart while returning used (oxygen-depleted) blood back to the lungs. The most common test that makes us start suspecting pulmonary hypertension is the echocardiogram where you might see an enlargement of the right heart chambers and the Doppler estimates of the pulmonary pressure There are a lot of other diseases that can also cause pulmonary hypertension like left heart failure that can be associated with mild pulmonary hypertension. Sometimes it is caused by diseases affecting the left side of the heart in these cases it results in higher pressures in the left heart chambers then get transmitted backward to the right heart chambers then ...

High blood pressure kills but it’s preventable and treatable 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. Taking Control of Your Blood Pressure:   Be Physically Act...

Hypertension Meeting 2018 will be an international event focussing on the core knowledge and major advances in the ever-expanding field of Hypertension & Healthcare by attracting experts on a global scale. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the inside lining of the arteries. High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when that force increases and stays higher than normal for a period. This condition can damage the blood vessels, heart, brain, and other organs. About 1 in 3 Americans has high blood pressure. One common misconception is that   high blood pressure (HBP...
