The Web CNN.com Home Page World U.S. Weather ... Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Hypertension linked to lead levels? Study: Thinning bones leak lead, raising blood pressure risk Story Tools CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) Bone loss at menopause can cause elevated blood-lead levels that may increase women's risk of high blood pressure, a study found. Previous studies have linked lead exposure in men with high blood pressure. But the new research is the first to suggest that thinning bones can release lead acquired from decades-earlier exposure and cause health problems, said co-author Ellen Silbergeld, an environmental health researcher at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health. Lead exposure from paint, water, air pollution and other environmental sources elevates blood-lead levels and in large doses can cause poisoning, especially in children. The metallic chemical ultimately accumulates in bones, and in low-level exposure may remain there for decades without serious effects. But when aging bones start to thin, lead can leak back into the blood, where it is more likely to cause damage, the researchers said.

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Circulatory Problems High Blood Pressure High Blood Pressure Overview When the heart pumps blood into the arteries, the blood flows with a force pushing against the walls of the arteries. This force is called the blood pressure. When your blood pressure is measured, it is a measure of how hard the heart has to work to pump the blood. When the arteries become hardened and narrowed with cholesterol plaque (atherosclerosis) and calcium (arteriosclerosis), the heart has to strain much harder to pump blood through them. This makes the blood pressure go abnormally high. High blood pressure is also called hypertension. What makes high blood pressure important is that it usually causes no symptoms but can still cause serious complications. Many people have high blood pressure and don't even know it. The key complications of high blood pressure include heart disease heart attack , congestive heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and peripheral artery disease, especially aortic aneurysms or outpouchings of the aorta. Public awareness of these dangers has increased. High blood pressure has become the second most common reason for medical visits in the United States.

Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts, Secondary Hypertension Secondary hypertension accounts for approximately 5-10% of all cases of hypertension, with the remaining being essential (or primary) hypertension. Secondary hypertension has an identifiable cause whereas essential hypertension has no known cause (i.e., idiopathic). There are many known conditions that can cause secondary hypertension. Regardless of the cause, arterial pressure becomes elevated either due to an increase in cardiac output, an increase in systemic vascular resistance, or both. When cardiac output is elevated, it is generally due to either increased neurohumoral activation of the heart or increased blood volume Some causes for secondary hypertension are listed below: Renal artery stenosis Chronic renal disease Primary hyperaldosteronism Stress ... Aortic coarctation Renal artery stenosis (renovascular disease) Renal artery disease can cause of narrowing of the vessel lumen ( stenosis ). The reduced lumen diameter increases the pressure drop along the length of the diseased artery, which reduces the pressure at the afferent arteriole in the kidney.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Surprise! Viagra helps children with pulmonary hypertension By Dr. Sanjay Gupta CNN Your Health (CNN) This week we reported a story about giving Viagra to children with severe pulmonary hypertension. Most of my colleagues were astonished that this wildly popular impotence drug would be given to children, even newborns. I thought this was an interesting story because it illustrates some of the serendipitous discoveries in medicine. First of all, when Viagra was first introduced, it was pitched as a heart drug, specifically to control angina or chest pain. The drug would do this by actually dilating the blood vessels in the heart. Patients started telling doctors that in addition to relief from chest pain, it seemed to be treating impotence. As word got out, more and more patients started taking it for that reason. In much the same way, doctors may find that this particular medication also takes care of potentially life-threatening pulmonary hypertension. It seems to dilate the blood vessels leading to the lungs just like it did in the heart. And that would be a very good thing for the 28,000 children who suffer from this disease. Hospital infections on the rise Hospital infections killed more than 90,000 people in the year 2000, and about three-quarters of those deaths could have been prevented.
