Pulmonary Hypertension

high blood pressure and heart rate :: Article Creator What's The Connection Between High Blood Cholesterol And Hypertension? High levels of cholesterol may gradually clog your arteries, which makes it more difficult for blood to flow. This increases the likelihood of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke if not controlled. Scientists have found that when people have more than one risk factor, like high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure, these factors work together to make the risk of heart disease much higher. Even if your cholesterol and blood pressure levels are only mildly elevated, when they are both present in your body, they can interact with each other to more quickly damage your blood vessels and your heart. If not controlled, they eventually set the stage for heart attack and stroke, as well as other problems like kidney malfunction and vision loss. If you're diagnosed with high cholesterol, it ...

coal miners lung :: Article Creator Advocates Say New Silica Dust Rule Won't Curb Black Lung; Affected Miners Are Younger, Sicker By Nadia RamlaganPublic News Service After the Biden administration released a new rule setting standards to limit exposure to silica dust, Appalachian advocates argued it is not enough to stem the region's black lung epidemic. The new rule shrinks in half the allowed exposure limit for crystalline silica during an eight-hour shift. Rebecca Shelton, director of policy for the Appalachian Citizens' Law Center, who represents miners in federal black lung disability claims, said while the rule is beneficial since silica dust exposure standards have not been updated in decades, miners are cutting through increasing amounts of rock to get to coal seams, breathing in more and more toxic dust. Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed modern-day coal miners are at greater ris...

sglt2 heart failure :: Article Creator We Finally Learn From TACT2 What We Should Have Known Two Decades Ago: Chelation Therapy Doesn't Work For Heart Disease In the days leading up to my starting to write today's post, I thought that I'd just write a followup to last week's post about "turbo cancers" supposedly caused by COVID-19 vaccines, mainly because there are as yet two truly awful articles supposedly supporting this antivax claim that I have yet to deal with.
