Control of high blood pressure by Acupuncture In subjects with essential hypertension
...Show More Authors

advancing age. The risk of cardiovascular disease in adults is lowest with systolic BP <120 mm Hg and diastolic BP < 80 mm Hg and increases progressively with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Acupuncture (from the Latin word acus, “needle”, and pungere, meaning “prick”) is a technique in which the practitioner inserts fine needles into specific points on the patient’s body. Accupuncture could be used as a nonpharmacological way of controlling high readings of blood pressure among cases with essential hypertension. This study aimed to investigate the effects of acupuncture on essential hypertension.
Patients and Methods: 51 hypertensive patients of both genders and 30 normotensive control subjects were involved in the study during the period from 1 December 2010 to 28 Feb 2011. Each subject recieved needling technique at certain acupoints of the body meridians according to Chinese medicine theory for 10 sessions, each session was thirty minutes and the responses were followed up for three months from the last session. Points selected are known as followed in Chinese medicine as ( du 20 , liver 3 and large intestine 11).
Results : Patient group which consists of (51) individuals{ (37) males and (14) females}, from those 51, there were 39 with response i.e they became normotensive and this represent (76.47%) while the rest were still hypertensive (23.52%) but they showed significant change in all parameters after treatment
Conclusion: From this study we conclude that acupuncture decreases blood pressure in hypertensive patients and had no hypotensive effect on normal subjects involved in this study.

Morning blood pressure surge and dipping profile in non-hypertensive obese subjects.
...Show More Authors

Background: Obesity is an evolving major health problem in both developed and developing countries. Non-hypertensive obese may have an elevated Morning Blood pressure surge (MBPS), which is associated with increased risk for cardiac events (CE) independently of office and ambulatory blood pressure (BP). Non-hypertensive obese also may have a blunted nocturnal decrease in BP during the night, while healthy normotensive non-obese individuals have a 10%–20% nocturnal decrease in blood pressure (BP) during the night or dipping. Thus, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) is the gold standard to evaluate MBPS and dipping profile in non-hypertensive obese individuals.

Background: Gestational hypertension represents a transient period of elevated blood pressure with  special effects on the maternal left ventricle that is different from the effects observed in chronic essential   hypertension; it affects a previously normal heart and lasts for a maximum of nine months associated with   volume and pressure overload on the maternal heart. Tei index (also called myocardial performance index)   was found to be a dependent combined index evaluating the systolic and diastolic function of the left   ventricle and represents a sensitive indicator for many types of heart diseases.
