paroxysmal hypertension :: Article Creator The Challenges Of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a very rare disease. It's also very complex. If you or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with PNH, you may wonder what sort of challenges you will face. It's hard to know right away. Sometimes, people with PNH have few, if any, symptoms. Other times, they have many different symptoms and complications that dramatically impact their quality of life. Since PNH is so rare – there are only 1.3 new cases diagnosed per million people each year – your doctor may not know a lot about it, either. While it used to be thought that people with PNH only live on average of 15 to 20 years, research suggests that life expectancy has been increasing over the last 2 decades. Soon, PNH patients may have a life span similar to that of people without the condition. But it's important to be aware of the chal...

lifestyle changes for high blood pressure :: Article Creator Hypertension At 30: How Bad Lifestyle Habits Raise Blood Pressure In Young Adults December 16, 2024 / 15:16 IST Hypertension occurs when your blood pressure is consistently higher than normal. Blood pressure is measured in two numbers: systolic (the pressure when the heart beats) and diastolic (the pressure when the heart rests). When either number is too high over a long period, it's called hypertension. If left untreated, it can cause serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, and kidney issues. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 220 million people in India have hypertension, but only 12 percent of them have their blood pressure under control. This shows how important it is to take action early. The growing number of young people with high blood pressure due to poor lifestyle habits is concerning, says Dr Shelly (Mittal) Mahajan, Lab Di...

(WPVI) -- High blood pressure doesn't just mean the kind measured by an arm cuff. There's another form in the lungs that's also very dangerous. A longtime athlete and physical education teacher explains how it impacts his life and the new medication helping him get back to his old self. "You were in really good shape, and now all of a sudden, you're not," John Smith of Ambler, Pa., notes. After a lifetime of sports and teaching physical education, John was blindsided 16 years ago to learn he had Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, or PAH.

cardiac insufficiency :: Article Creator Dear Doctor: What Is High-output Heart Failure, And How Is It Treated? DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband is 73 and was diagnosed with heart failure and a severely dilated left ventricle. At the time, he was pumping 10 liters per minute. He had a proBNP natriuretic peptide level over 10,000 and an ejection fraction of 39%. Later, he was found to have an abdominal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). He underwent three radiological procedures to reduce the size of the AVM. One year post-procedure, his cardiac output was 5.7 liters per minute; his proBNP level was 1,300; and his ejection fraction was 54%. Clearly, the AVM was the source of the high-output congestive heart failure, and the three embolization procedures were effective. All his symptoms disappeared after the procedures, and he feels stronger and more vital than he has in years. He hikes several miles daily, bikes occasionally, and is able to climb a sand...
