Among middle-aged and older adults, high blood pressure accelerated cognitive decline and treatment slowed the regression.

Vitamin D deficiency from birth to early childhood was associated with an increased risk of elevated systolic blood pressure during childhood and adolescence.

A new discovery on how iron deficiency affects the vasculature of the lung could hold the key to improving treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
