Dr. Lydia Bazzano shared her thoughts on lifestyle modifications in hypertension control in a 2000 issue of Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, develops from a combination of causal factors, some of which are outside of the patient's control. A family history of high blood pressure, for example, can significantly increase a patient's risk. Even among those with naturally higher risk, however, certain lifestyle changes can reduce the likelihood of developing a dangerous hypertensive condition.

Excess weight for example, directly correlates with high blood pressure. It puts greater strain on the heart and causes increased pressure in the blood vessels. Weight loss, then, can immediately reduce a person's risk of high blood pressure.

Exercise is also effective at reducing blood pressure risk. Decreasing one's sodium intake is a well known recommendation with extensive evidence behind it. Excessive alcohol use can increase blood pressure while and tobacco use, raises the likelihood taht blood will clot and put the body at risk of other serious conditions, including stroke and heart failure.

Finally, an individual can mitigate his or her risk of hypertension by managing stress. Chronic stress can not only increase pressure in the blood vessels directly, but can prompt such hypertension-inducing behaviors as poor eating and drinking to excess.]]> 2017-06-15 06:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/176505576 https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/179204834 2017-07-21 19:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/179204834 https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/179204851 2017-07-21 19:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/179204851 https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/179204854 2017-07-21 19:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/179204854 LydiaBazzano https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/179902981 Before becoming a physician of internal medicine at Ochsner Health Systems in New Orleans, Louisiana, Lydia Bazzano attended Tulane University, where she earned a PhD in Epidemiology. Lydia Bazzano also earned an MD at Tulane University and was given the Medical Student Award by the American Federation for Medical Research (AFMR).

Established in 1940, the American Federation for Medical Research was created to provide support and to promote the work of scientists engaged in patient-oriented and biomedical research. The AMFR is a multi-disciplinary association that includes members from not only research institutions, but also private industry, medical schools and universities, and government facilities.

To promote the work of AMFR to members and the profession, the association publishes the Journal of Investigative Medicine (JIM) eight times each year. This publication includes peer-reviewed articles along with abstracts from AMFR meetings and original investigations completed by members of the association seeking to improve the quality of medical care provided to patients.]]> 2017-08-02 00:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/LydiaBazzano/About/wish/179902981
