Brain cells found that prevent dangerous blood pressure fluctuations

ScienceDaily reported that researchers discovered a small group of brain cells that works to prevent dangerous blood pressure swings. These rapid fluctuations can occur even when a patient's average blood pressure readings appear normal. [1]

According to ScienceDaily, doctors usually evaluate blood pressure based on average values. However, rapid or excessive changes throughout the day can independently raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, and brain injury. [1]

The discovery of these specific brain cells reveals a hidden source of cardiovascular risk. Scientists hope the finding will lead to new medical treatments that protect the heart and brain from sudden blood pressure instability. [1]

As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, researchers have also been exploring neurological approaches to cardiovascular health. Scientists at Queen Mary University of London recently tested an ear stimulation device on 63 patients, showing promising reductions in severe high blood pressure. [2]
