In most cases, the cause of high blood pressure, or hypertension, is unknown. This video, created by Nucleus Medical Media, explains how to manage high blood pressure with lifestyle changes and medication.
High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.

Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.
You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without any symptoms. Even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and your heart continues and can be detected. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke.
High blood pressure generally develops over many years, and it affects nearly everyone eventually. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. And once you know you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it.
In this video we will look at a new research that shows a promising new lifestyle modification to reduce high blood pressure.
Luke Laffin, MD, Medical Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation and cardiologist in the Section of Preventive Cardiology at Cleveland Clinic tells us about natural ways to lower blood pressure. These tips will help you stay off medications or lessen the amount of medications you need to take to control blood pressure. Video Rating: / 5

When there is an abnormality in your blood, some extreme things can take place in your body. What kinds of things can go wrong and what disorders and diseases stem from those?
“The body contains a natural process to stop bleeding from minor cuts in a matter of several minutes. When a small artery is cut, the collagen fibers in its tissue are exposed, which signals the clotting process to begin.”
“An embolus is a particle that moves about in our blood vessels, either in the veins or arteries. Most emboli are composed of clotted blood cells.”

Tracy Antonelli was diagnosed with thalassemia at the age of 4; her body can’t make enough oxygen-carrying red blood cells. When she and her husband were ready to start a family, they looked to China, where thalassemia is relatively prevalent, and found three special girls.
The care that the girls now receive at Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center Includes regular blood transfusions, medication to remove excess iron from their bodies, and careful monitoring.
The thalassemias are a group of inherited blood disorders in which the genes that produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, are broken. As a result, the red blood cells do not contain enough hemoglobin, causing anemia that can range from mild to life threatening. Thalassemia can come in different forms depending on the genetic mutations causing it. The transfusion-dependent form, also called thalassemia major or Cooley’s Anemia, requires lifelong follow-up care and regular blood transfusions. Some other forms are more readily managed and may require little or no treatment.
Thalassemia Treatment at Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s
At the Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Thalassemia Program, our experts provide comprehensive care for children and adults with all forms of thalassemia. For many appointments and certain procedures, your child also can receive care at one of our satellite offices. Treatment for thalassemia depends on the subtype of the disorder, but may include:
– blood transfusions for anemia, based on severity
– regular and comprehensive monitoring for complications of thalassemia and of treatments
– iron chelation therapy, to remove excess iron from the body
– for certain cases, stem cell transplantation to replace the blood-forming stem cells with the defective hemoglobin gene(s) Video Rating: / 5
