Elevated BP levels lead to increased left ventricular mass and relative wall thickness in midlife, suggesting that BP control is key to reducing risk of left ventricular hypertrophy. @ShengxuLi@zt2730 https://t.co/vhM6hRRVHs
Chinese-Americans face a double threat. They're grappling with the coronavirus like everyone else, but many also say they are contending with growing racism. https://t.co/7mLYAOo4Vw
@guto_montezano@HyperAHA Hey, it's a little early here on the left coast to hit me with a chicken-or-egg question! But if you believe the Folkow hypothesis, #hypertension leads to chronic vascular changes that can perpetuate #bloodpressure elevation even if the stimulus to increase BP is removed. #HYPHIP
Q4- Is the 85th percentile the best in terms of sensitivity and specificity along all ages? Have you make any comparison between pre adolescents and adolescents? #HYPHIP
Hi Dr Flynn @drjosflynn. Here is Francisco Rios from University of Glasgow @UofGlasgow. In the study, you found that for >11 years of age, BP higher >120/80 in 2 visits is considered high, would you characterize as hypertensive or pre-hypertensive? #HYPHIP
Daisy puts herself to bed like this at least three or four times a day, and I finally caught it good on camera. We never taught her (how could we?) She just does it because she loves being comfy #beagle#beagles
