Orthostatic hypotension could be linked to heart failure through high BP Posted: 25 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have found that orthostatic hypotension may be linked to heart failure and that high blood pressure could be behind this association.

Low magnesium risks arrhythmia in diabetes patients Posted: 25 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with Type 2 diabetes with low serum magnesium concentrations are at significant risk for premature ventricular complexes, research shows.

Interarm BP difference leads to reduced survival Posted: 25 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT According to researchers writing in the British Medical Journal, patients with hypertension who have different blood pressure measurements in each arm have a reduced chance of survival over 10 years

Human gene variant can transform mild flu into serious disease Posted: 25 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT People with a specific variant of the interferon-inducible transmembrane 3 gene are more likely to be hospitalized with seasonal or pandemic influenza than noncarriers, suggest study results published in Nature.

Promising phase 1 results for monoclonal antibody to PCSK9 Posted: 25 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT A monoclonal antibody to proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 significantly reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in healthy volunteers and in individuals with familial or nonfamilial hypercholesterolemia, show results of three phase 1 trials.

Vaginal birth linked to urinary incontinence Posted: 25 Mar 2012 05:00 PM PDT Vaginal birth is associated with an increased risk for urinary incontinence compared with a cesarean section, even over a decade afterwards, say researchers.
