The research team at Queen Mary University of London, Barts Hospital and Cambridge University Hospital identified the hormone aldosterone as the cause. In two-thirds of the patients examined, this was due to a benign nodule in one of the two adrenal glands, which had previously been difficult to locate. So far, such nodules could only be identified with the help of a complex catheter study. Disadvantage: it is complex, not painless and error-prone. In addition, the necessary equipment is not...
Lifestyle or diet is not always to blame when someone develops arteriosclerosis. A mutation in the blood cell genome can also significantly increase the risk of such vascular calcification, as researchers have discovered. If one of the guardian genes in the genome is altered by these mutations, this leads to an abnormal proliferation of immune cells in the blood vessel walls – and this in turn promotes the deposition of plaques. Arteriosclerosis, technically atherosclerosis, is a real widespread disease -...

One of the reasons for this is that high blood pressure often causes hardly any or only a few obvious symptoms. In addition, the consequences continue to be underestimated. But how does a doctor determine if someone has high blood pressure? It is still...
