    Abstract : BackgroundHigh blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. The shape of association between blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular events is debated. Some researchers suggest that the association is linear or log-linear, whereas others suggest it is J-shaped. READ MORE

  4. 2. Yoga as a treatment for hypertension in primary care. A quantitative and qualitative analysis conducted in Sweden

    Author : Andreas Jekell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Hypertension induces structural vascular and cardiac changes with increased arterial stiffness and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and is major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and the sympathetic nervous system are important for blood pressure regulation and vascular function. READ MORE
