A new study reports teens faced with chronic family stress have higher blood pressure and worse immune response to bacterial infections. However, those who used cognitive reappraisal had lower blood pressure, despite the pressures they faced.
Researchers report listening to music may help people extend the time they are capable of enduring a cardiac stress test. The study also reports the findings could help healthy people to exercise for longer periods of time.
Traumatized people who take a class of common blood pressure medications tend to have less severe post-traumatic stress symptoms, researchers...
According to researchers, Parkinson's patients who have a drop in blood pressure when standing exhibit significant cognitive deficits.
People who experience dizziness when standing face an increased risk of developing dementia, a new study reports. The increased risk appears to only apply to those who experience a drop in their systolic blood pressure. Those with systolic orthostatic hypotension were 40% more likely to develop dementia than those who did not suffer from the condition.
Researchers discuss how blood pressure can influence dementia risks and report raising diastolic blood pressure through daily soleus muscle, or calf muscle, stimulation can help reverse signs of cognitive decline associated with aging.
Minor rises in blood pressure due to short-term stressors are linked to a brain area associated with consciousness and motor learning.
Women who had high blood pressure in their 40s are 73% more likely to develop dementia as they age than those with normal blood pressure, a new study in Neurology reports.
Ischemic preconditioning may help to prevent stroke, a new study reports. Restricting blood flow by wearing inflatable blood pressure cuffs on the arms and legs allows for more controlled blood flow to the brain.
Study reveals a link between diastolic blood pressure and an increased risk of neurotic personality traits. Controlling blood pressure can help to reduce anxiety, depression, and neuroticism.
Two drugs commonly prescribed to treat heart disease and angina, are well tolerated in stroke patients. Early indications suggest the treatments may help to improve blood vessel function in the arms and brain, and may also improve cognitive skills.
The difference in blood pressure between a person's arms is linked to a higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and ultimately death.
