Low blood pressure does not necessarily mean stable blood pressure. According to a study, individuals who had suffered a stroke or a heart disease were found to have low blood pressure and were also found to have experienced changes in the brain affecting their memory and cognition. There is a significant link between Alzheimer’s and […]
Blood pressure monitoring is one of the most common activities in a medical practice. Patients that have been diagnosed with peripheral vascular disease, chronic kidney disease, cerebrovascular disease, ischaemic heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension, all require continuous blood pressure monitoring. However, high blood pressure can also be checked at home. In fact, a recent study […]
Many assume that a stroke happens among the elderly. However, the recent death of Luke Perry, at the age of 52, has come as a strong reminder that stroke can happen to younger individuals too. A stroke occurs when there is a disruption in the flow of blood to your brain. It can be caused […]
While daylight saving time might appear like a great way to save energy, research has not shown any clear results. In fact, it actually has more negative consequences than benefits. Recent studies have highlighted that clock changes increases the risk of heart attacks. Slight sleep deprivation triggered by this time shift causes circadian misalignment, which […]
Over the past year, various blood pressure medicines have been recalled across the US and more recently in the UK and Europe after a cancer-causing contaminant was discovered in some of the batches. Investigators believe that the medicines were contaminated in the manufacturing process. Valsartan, which is one of the most commonly used blood pressure […]
High blood pressure or hypertension is the increased amount of blood pressure against your arteries. With time, elevated blood pressure can damage your blood vessels and lead to a stroke, kidney disease, heart disease and other health serious issues. Hypertension is also referred as a silent killer since it doesn’t have any unique symptoms and […]
New evidence from recent research studies suggests that Atrial Fibrillation can put patients above 40 at the risk of dementia. In Atrial Fibrillation, the heart’s upper chamber beats irregularly, leading to an abnormal heart rhythm and decreased blood flow. The ineffective pumping of the heart causes blood clots, which can further lead to a stroke […]
Atrial Fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that accounts for 20% to 30% of all strokes. It is also among the top causes of premature deaths in women. Studies show that nearly 120,000 people are being diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation annually. Most of them complain of experiencing the following signs and symptoms: Fatigue Palpation Weakness […]
Did you know that light plays a major role in our circadian system? It regulates our circadian system by communicating with our eye’s light sensitive cells, which then signals the body clock of our brain. This is how your body knows what time it is so that your organs work accordingly. These sensitive cells are […]
The increasing number of cases related to strokes caused by atrial fibrillation is alarming for the European healthcare industry. Clinical studies suggest that individuals suffering from atrial fibrillation are 3 to 5 times at risk of suffering from a stroke; and that a quarter of middle-aged adults will at some stage of their life develop […]
