high blood pressure in the morning low in the evening :: Article Creator The New Low For High Blood Pressure One night back in May, I went to sleep with perfectly normal blood pressure, an unremarkable 120/80. The next day, I woke up in a blood pressure danger zone. What happened? My blood pressure didn't spike overnight; instead, government officials issued revised blood pressure guidelines that included a new category: prehypertension. Anyone with a systolic (top number) reading of 120 or over, or a diastolic (bottom) reading of 80 or over, now has prehypertension, which means we're at increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Between those of us with newly-minted prehypertension (some 23% of the population), and people who have full-blown hypertension (at least another 25%), danger-zone blood pressure is an emerging epidemic in this country. Nearly half of all American adults over 18 are in one category or the other. Are so many o...

sglt2 and heart failure :: Article Creator SGLT2 Inhibitors Provide Cardiorenal Benefits For Patients With SLE And Type 2 Diabetes Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors provide significant renal benefits and similar safety outcomes compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), though they are associated with increased risks for genital infections, according to study results published in Arthritis & Rheumatology. Researchers evaluated the efficacy and safety of SGLT2 vs DPP4 inhibitors for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and renal events among patients with both SLE and T2D and assessed the associated risks for infections. Electronic health record data were sourced from a large insurance-based cohort involving 92 healthcare centers across the United States. Adult patients with both SLE and T2D who newly initiated SGLT2 or DPP4 inhibit...
