Low blood pressure | Top 8 novel treatment findings

Centhaquine boosts cardiac output in shock

Significant increases in stroke volume, cardiac output, and mean arterial pressure were observed after treatment, indicating improved hemodynamic status and potential for better tissue perfusion.

Lower SBP linked to longer life in women

Women with SBP levels maintained between 110 and 130 mmHg had a significantly higher probability of surviving to age 90, with a 31% absolute survival probability for those on BP medication and controlled SBP for 80% of the first 5 years of follow-up.

Pharmacogenomic testing improves hypertension control

The study found that pharmacogenomic testing led to significant improvements in blood pressure control, with reductions in systolic blood pressure (SBP) by 14.8 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 8.4 mmHg, particularly in patients with actionable genotypes.

Monitoring heart rate improves outcomes in autonomic dysreflexia patients.

Improved understanding of heart rate changes associated with autonomic dysreflexia, leading to better monitoring and management strategies during procedures that may trigger these episodes.

Acupuncture stabilizes blood pressure during surgery

The study aims to demonstrate that acupuncture can significantly reduce the fluctuations in blood pressure during surgery, leading to improved hemodynamic stability and potentially better postoperative outcomes.

Low diastolic blood pressure increases risk of major cardiovascular events in treated hypertensive patients.

The study found that isolated low diastolic blood pressure (ILDBP) was associated with a 1.32-fold increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) compared to normal DBP levels. In contrast, isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) did not show a significant increase in MACE risk.

Metformin reduces blood pressure and hypertension risk

The analysis indicated that metformin use could significantly reduce systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), with a notable reduction in hypertension risk observed in two independent cohorts. A genetically proxied reduction of 6.75 mmol/mol in HbA1c was associated with a decrease in SBP and DBP.

Compression reduces heart rate increase

Compression significantly reduced the orthostatic increase in heart rate and minimized changes in heart rate variability parameters during head-up tilt tests.
