Today we are recognizing Gestational Hypertension by providing the latest updates with “Current insights and management” which is going to be discussed at 5th International Conference on Hypertension & Healthcare to be held during October 18-19, 2018, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The theme of the conference is “Exploring the new horizons to cure Hypertension & Cardiac diseases”. 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 or hypertension) rarely affects women. However, nearly half of all adults with high blood pressure are women. And at 65 and older, women are more likely than men to get high blood pressure. While high blood pressure isn't directly related to gender, throughout a woman’s life, health issues like pregnancy, pregnancy prevention (birth control) and menopause can increase the risk of developing high blood pressure. Preeclampsia (sometimes known as toxemia of pregnancy) is a condition, closely related to gestational hypertension that typically begins after the 20th week of pregnancy. It’s usually characterized by high blood pressure and elevated protein in the urine.

How to prevent Gestational Hypertension: 

·         Use salt as needed for taste.
·         Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
·         Increase the amount of protein you take in, and decrease the amount of fried foods and junk food you eat.
·         Get enough rest.
·         Exercise regularly.
·         Elevate your feet several times during the day.
·         Avoid drinking alcohol.
·         Avoid beverages containing caffeine.
·         Your doctor may suggest you take prescribed medicine and additional supplements.

While there is no cure, HBP is manageable and preventable by adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes the above. Physical activity and weight loss are also key factors in lowering your numbers. And these simple changes can go a long way.

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...
