Description
Niya Mileva and six co-authors report a 2024 study on heart drugs and the stretch of the main artery in people with high blood pressure. A stiff artery raises the risk of heart harm, and scan images can show how well the vessel stretches. The drugs studied block a hormone system that helps guard the heart.
The team used heart scans to gauge stretch in patients whose heart vessels were not badly blocked. They split patients by whether they took the drugs and compared the two groups. Readers learn how drug use lines up with artery stretch, and what that may mean for care of high blood pressure.
