of cancer cells and prevent the development of new ones. In some cases‚ white tea has been found to work as well as prescription drugs‚ but without the side effects. Lower Blood Pressure Studies show that white tea can thin the blood and improve artery function. It helps lower high blood pressure and maintain a healthy one. By promoting strong and healthy blood vessels‚ white tea guards against the ravages of stroke. Lower Cholesterol Catechins‚ another group of antioxidants‚ have been found to

have hypertension‚ hyperlipidemia‚ obesity and cardiovascular disease. The risks for PTSD patients should be noted because coronary heart diease can develop over time as a result of elevated blood pressure with turbulence and stress within coronary arteries and hyperlipidemia‚ which are associated with PTSD. Studies show that people with PTSD have increases in basal heart rate and blood pressure. (Coughlin‚ 2011) PTSD patients also have elevated plasma norepinephrine and 24-hour urine norepinephrine

pressure in the arteries starting from the heart towards the lungs. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is defined as a sustained elevation of the pulmonary arterial pressure to greater than 25 mmHg at rest or greater than 30 mmHg following exercise‚ with a mean pulmonary-capillary wedge pressure (an indirect measure of left atrial pressure) of less than 15 mmHg (Loscalzo‚ 2005). Someone with PAH‚ the right side of their heart has to work harder to push blood through narrowed arteries in the lungs

forms the two lower cardiac chambers that collect blood from the upper chambers pumping it out of the heart. As follows‚ the right ventricle pumps oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary trunk‚ which divides it to form the left and right pulmonary arteries that lead to the lungs while the left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood through the aorta and the rest of the body. Because the heart is a pump‚ it needs a set of valves keeping

Hypertensive heart disease is obviously caused by high blood pressure. High blood pressure means the pressure inside the blood vessels‚ which is arteries is too high. As the heart pumps‚ it must pump against the pressure‚ so it must work harder. Gradually‚ the heart muscles will be thicken. Sometimes it does not get enough oxygen because the muscle is too thick. It influenced your heart to pump regularly and its functions. These changes could effect the thickening and enlargement of the heart (left

The right atrium and ventricle are separated by the tricuspid valve; the left atrium and ventricle are separated by the mitral valve; blood flows from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries through the pulmonary valve; and blood moves from the left ventricle to the aorta through the aortic valve. These valves can be diseased in a few ways. First‚ they might fail to close completely‚ allowing blood to flow backward. Second‚ they may

has a history of hypertension which is a common risk factor of haemorrhagic strokes. When hypertension is not managed well‚ can cause a lot of pressure to the muscles of the intracerebral artery walls as it responds by pushing back harder causing the walls to become thick. This leads to the intracerebral arteries to be narrow causing less space for blood flow. A lifestyle factor that can be a risk to Steve’s hypertension is the excessive alcohol intake and study shows that 74% drinkers will develop

Regular Exercise Will Save Your Life Regular Exercise Will Save Your Life Being physically active is the most beneficial thing for the human body‚ physically and mentally. Exercise decreases the risks of heart disease‚ diabetes‚ and stroke. It treats and prevents depression‚ increases muscle strength and cognitive function‚ and prevents obesity. It’s estimated that only 20% of the people in America get enough exercise‚ with an obesity rate of over 25% and an overweight rate of over 35%. Depression
