Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowNew Hope for Tough High Blood PressureA new drug, lorundrostat, just made waves in a clinical trial for people whose high blood pressure won’t budge with standard meds. Participants saw their top blood pressure number drop by 15 points—double what the placebo group got! The secret? It targets a sneaky hormone called aldosterone. The study even included a super diverse group, so this could be a game-changer for a lot of folks. Fingers crossed for the next trial phase! #BloodPressure #HealthNews #Hypertension #MedicalBreakthrough #Health725Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowYour BP Meds Might Be Doing This?!Turns out, some common blood pressure meds could be messing with a key enzyme (ACE2) that actually helps protect your heart! Researchers found that most ACE inhibitors (except lisinopril) can block ACE2, and ARBs might even raise the wrong hormone levels. Basically, the meds meant to help might have some unexpected side effects. The good news? New plant-based ACE2 treatments are being tested, and they could be a game-changer for heart health.
