This study compared the long-term effects of LCZ696 on morbidity (having a disease condition) and mortality (death) to those of enalapril in patients with chronic heart failure.

This aim of this study was to investigate if thiazide treatment can reduce the risk of bone fractures in hypertensive patients with osteoporosis. The authors concluded that thiazides can reduce the risk of bone fractures, especially with longer treatment duration.

This study looked at using aquablation (water jet treatment) to improve the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It concluded that the water jet treament could improve the quality of life and symptoms of patients with BPH.

This review examined the damage caused to the brain by hypertension, and the role hypertension plays in the development of strokes, cognitive impairment and alzheimer’s disease.

This trial studied the effect of a traditional Mediterranean diet on blood pressure control.

This study investigated whether calcium deposits in the arteries that supply the heart muscle (a condition known as coronary artery calcification) in patients with high blood pressure predicts the occurrence of heart events, such as heart attack. 

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in men in which the prostate gland is enlarged but not cancerous. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is also called benign prostatic hypertrophy or benign prostatic obstruction.

The prostate goes through two main growth periods as a man ages. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. The second phase of growth begins around age 25 and continues during most of a man’s life. Benign prostatic hyperplasia often occurs during the second growth phase.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which blood pressure at rest is higher than the body's needs. It is defined as a systolic blood pressure above 140, and a diastolic blood pressure above 90. If only one of these values is elevated, it is referred to as isolated systolic or isolated diastolic hypertension. If blood pressure is slightly elevated, but not to a degree that meets the criteria, it is referred to as pre-hypertension. This condition is still harmful and still requires treatment.
