متن کاملDeliberately Lowering Blood Pressure with Sodium Nitroprusside
The goal of hyptensive anesthesia is the safe reduction of intraoperative blood loss, thus reducing transfusion risks. Previous hypotensive technics had a narrow margin of safety in that cardiac output was usually reduced in proportion to the degree of induced hypotension. This is in contrast to the results of our study, in which Sodium Nitroprusside was used as the sole hypotensive agent. Ni...
متن کاملInorganic nitrate for blood pressure lowering?
Letters to the Editor will be published, if suitable, as space permits. They should not exceed 1000 words (typed double-spaced) in length and may be subject to editing or abridgment. Kapil et al 1 reported that potassium nitrate ingestion lowers blood pressure (BP) in human subjects. Peak plasma nitrate (NO 3 Ϫ) and nitrite (NO 2 Ϫ) concentrations increased up to 35-and 4-fold, respectively. In...
متن کاملDietary spermidine for lowering high blood pressure
Loss of cardiac macroautophagy/autophagy impairs heart function, and evidence accumulates that an increased autophagic flux may protect against cardiovascular disease. We therefore tested the protective capacity of the natural autophagy inducer spermidine in animal models of aging and hypertension, which both represent major risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Dietary sp...
