pe hypertension :: Article Creator CTEPH Predictors Following Pulmonary Embolism Risk for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) after pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with gender, delayed PE diagnosis, hypoxemia, heart load, D-dimer levels, and PE etiology. These findings were published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. One of the most serious post-PE syndromes is CTEPH. A large variation in the rate of CTEPH has been reported and risk factors are not well understood. The Contemporary Management and Outcomes in Patients With Venous Thromboembolism (COMMAND VTE) Registry-2 is a large cohort that recruited patients in Japan. In this study, patients (N=5197) with acute symptomatic venous thromboembolism between 2015 and 2020 at 31 sites were evaluated for CTEPH after acute PE (n=2787). The primary outcomes were the incidence of and risk factors for CTEPH. Following a diagnosis of acute PE, the cumulative rates...

causes of blood pressure :: Article Creator Four Signs Of High Blood Pressure You Shouldn't Ignore That Can Appear At Night Some symptoms of high blood pressure can appear at night, disrupting your sleep ( Image: Getty) People have been warned to look out for four signs of a silent killer condition that can appear at night. These symptoms could indicate high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It is estimated that around one in three UK adults suffer from high blood pressure, which forces the heart to pump harder to circulate blood throughout the body. The condition is linked to a range of severe health issues including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, strokes, heart failure, and heart attacks. Perhaps most concerning is the fact that high blood pressure often remains undetected and untreated until it leads to a critical health crisis, with approximately half of those with hypertension unaware of their conditi...

salt for low blood pressure :: Article Creator Using Apple Cider Vinegar To Help Lower Blood Pressure Research is unclear on whether apple cider vinegar can help lower blood pressure. Your healthcare team can best advise you on using any natural remedies or alternative treatments. Apple cider vinegar has long been a popular home remedy for many illnesses and conditions, including upset stomachs, sore throats, and high cholesterol. Some research indicates that apple cider vinegar may play a small role in helping to lower blood pressure, but many studies are older, involve animals or rodents, and have limitations baked into how the research was conducted. Overall, it's not conclusive whether apple cider alone is responsible for this specific health benefit or if it's most beneficial when used alongside other lifestyle changes, treatments, and healthy behaviors. High blood cholesterol and high blood pressure of...

pte pulmonary thromboembolism :: Article Creator Deep Venous Thrombosis - PCI Information Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) is common due to the phenomenon of Virchow's Triad. Therefore, it is very important to closely monitor for DVT, especially in first year following SCI or any time patient is admitted to hospital. Secondary complication of DVT can result in Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE) and death. Assessment Patients with a SCI often present atypically or with an unreliable physical examination. The standard of care is now to initiate subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin for prophylaxis following SCI. Venous Doppler ultrasounds are commonly performed for screening. If there is concern for a PTE, either a CT Angiogram, spiral CT scan, or nuclear ventilation/perfusion scan can be performed to diagnose with a chest x-ray Treatment Considerations For acute DVT/PTE, subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin is used initially with the trans...

normal high blood pressure :: Article Creator For Real, We May Be Taking Blood Pressure Readings All Wrong For people who had high blood pressure readings only when sitting (normal readings while lying down), there was no statistically significant difference in risk of coronary heart disease, heart failure, or stroke compared to people with normal blood pressure. The only statistically significant differences were a 41 percent higher risk of fatal coronary heart disease (compared to the 78 percent seen in those with high readings lying down) and an 11 percent higher risk of all-cause mortality. (In this study, high blood pressure readings were defined for both positions as those with systolic readings (the top number) of 130 mm Hg or greater or diastolic readings (the bottom number) of 80 mm Hg or greater.) The people with the highest risks across the board were those who had high blood pressure readings while both sitting and lying down. ...
