No benefits from new U.S. blood pressure guidelines, according to study

No benefits from new U.S. blood pressure guidelines, according to study
November 27, 2018 , Technical University Munich
 

When is high blood pressure dangerous? Medical associations offer widely differing answers. In the U.S., for example, patients are seen as hypertensive at much lower pressure than patients in Germany. A team working with Prof. Karl-Heinz Ladwig of the Technical University of Munich and the Helmholtz Zentrum München has concluded that treating patients sooner does not reduce the risk of deadly heart disease, and could even negatively affect their mental health.

But then Big Pharm can’t sell more drugs, and if they can’t sell more drugs they can’t donate as much to Congressional campaigns.

My blood pressure is a little high at the doctor's office, but not at home.  I am at the perfect weight.  My physical, mammogram, bone density test, blood work up, all negative or in normal range.  I eat healthy, work out 2 to 3 times a week, walk a 150 pound dog twice a day.  Happy doc.  Nooooooo.  He keeps whinging on about the blood pressure.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
