The aging of the innermost cell layer of blood vessels leads to cardiovascular diseases. Researchers at UZH have now shown ...

This happens because high pressure causes blood vessels in the brain to expand, leading to pain and discomfort. If you experience headaches that don’t go away or happen often without a clear ...

Bananas may help lower blood pressure due to their high potassium content, which supports kidney function by promoting sodium excretion and relaxing blood vessels. A 2025 study found sex-specific ...

releasing hormones that temporarily raise blood pressure by increasing heart rate and constricting blood vessels. When stress persists without adequate recovery periods, these temporary elevations ...

High blood pressure, or hypertension, forces the heart to work harder than normal, which can damage blood vessels and organs over time. This raises the risk of serious health problems such as ...

They include: High blood pressure is when the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels is too high. If blood pressure stays high for too long, it can damage the walls of ...

A greater vertical distance between the heart and where the cuff is placed can increase hydrostatic pressure in the arteries, or the pressure of the blood against the wall, due to gravity’s ...

The reactor pressure vessel for unit 3 at the Xudabao nuclear power plant in China's Liaoning province has successfully completed hydrostatic testing in Russia. The two VVER-1200 reactors that form ...

The new device uses sound waves to gather blood pressure data from blood vessels, monitoring the response with ultrasound. The new technique, called resonance sonomanometry, holds the promise to ...

it releases certain hormones that can constrict blood vessels and cause blood pressure to rise. This means dehydration can paradoxically result in both low and high blood pressure.” The amount ...

Increase in blood pressure and intraocular pressure over time is associated with narrower and more twisted small blood vessels in the retina. Researchers assessed 2089 individuals from a Danish ...
