There is good news for those who feel the urge to know more about high blood pressure and heart disease.
About one in three adults has high blood pressure. Since the condition does not have any warning signs or symptoms, it is important to know your risk factors. Control of high blood pressure is important to reduce the incidence of heart disease — one of the biggest killers in America.
Fortunately, a free online tool has been developed that provides information and ways to create a personal heart health profile to let you know about your personal treatment options.
A tool called Heart Profilers — incorporates an integrated medical terminology to ensure that patients understand their condition and all treatment options. The tool can also connect interested patients, at their request, to nearby clinical trials to learn about the appropriateness of diagnostic treatment programs.
Although anyone can have high blood pressure, regardless of race, age or gender, it is possible to prevent and control high blood pressure by taking steps, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, following a healthy diet program that emphasizes fruit and a healthy diet. vegetables and low-fat dairy foods, and the selection and preparation of low-salt and sodium foods.
About 70 percent of people with primary heart disease and about 80 percent of those with primary disease have high blood pressure than 140/90 mm Hg. A 10 percent drop in blood pressure levels may result in a reduction of about 30 percent in the incidence of heart disease.
"Heart Profilers help patients assess their risk of heart disease and provide them with a list of treatment options," said Drs. Clyde Yancy, associate professor of medicine / cardiology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. “It is a huge advancement in online technology that has the potential to change the way patients and doctors communicate. This tool eliminates some of the ambiguity in Web searches for health information. ”
In addition to high blood pressure, Heart Profilers also include cholesterol, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and coronary artery disease. For more information, visit americanheart.org/heart profilers.
The American Heart Association also has a detailed background dedicated to high blood pressure

Many competitive sports (in addition to endurance running or cycling) are also based on standing and walking movements or short bursts of hard work followed by recovery. To examine the example of the different effects of endurance or strenuous training against standing and walking training, consider the bodies of long-distance runners compared with runners. Most athletes have a very dry, muscular, and strong body, while the average athlete who is dedicated to the marathon is often thin and looks sick. Now who do you choose to be like?
Another factor to keep in mind about the benefits of physical variability is the internal effect of various forms of exercise on our body. Scientists know that strenuous exercise for extreme endurance (different for everyone, but sometimes defined as no more than 60 minutes per session on most days of the week) increases free radical production in the body, can weaken joints, reduces immune function, causes muscle wasting, and it can cause inflammatory reactions in the body that can lead to chronic diseases. On the other hand, highly flexible cyclic training has been linked to increased anti-oxidant production in the body and anti-inflammatory response, efficient nitric oxide response (which can promote a healthy cardiovascular system), and increased metabolic response rate. (which can help in weight loss).
In addition, strenuous endurance training trains the heart only at a single heart rate and does not train it to respond to various daily pressures. On the other hand, flexible cyclic training teaches the heart to respond to and respond to a wide range of needs, making it less likely to fail if you need it. Think of it this way - Exercises that train your heart to grow faster and slow down faster will enable your heart to cope with daily stress. Depression can cause your blood pressure and heart rate to rise rapidly. Strength running and other endurance training do not train your heart to cope with rapid changes in heart rate or blood pressure.
