Theme: exploring the new horizons in cardiology and health care

We are delighted to welcome all enthusiastic researchers from all around the world to join us for the Hypertension and Health Care on November 19; 2020.The summit will be forward with the theme exploring the new horizons in cardiology and health care
 
The aim of this Hypertension & health is to discuss the strategies for screening, prevention and treatment of High blood pressure and related cardiac events. This Hypertension Congress, online event, includes several plenary presentations, interactive sessions, Video presentations, Poster Presentations, Special case studies sessions, Young Research Forums, Networking sessions etc. The sessions in this Hypertension webinar will help the young investigators including healthcare practitioners, Primary healthcare providers, Academic investigators to acquire in depth knowledge from the basic study of Hypertension and Cardiac health to Clinical aspects of Hypertension and Cardiac Health management.
 

 

 
As per a statement of World Health Organization (WHO), Hypertension is one of the silent killers in 21st century and is one of the biggest global public health concerns. Hypertension is major contributors of cardiac complications, stroke, heart diseases, kidney failure, blindness, including premature death and disabilities. Hypertension is curable as well as treatable for which there is a need of involvement from individual entities, government and private sectors, health workers, civil societies and moreover individual awareness is highly recommended.
Globally, Hypertension or high Blood Pressure leads to 7.5million death cases which shares about 12.8% of all death cases recorded. Hypertension is also accounts about 57million disabilities adjusted life years which is about 3.7% of total adjusted life years. Hypertension is the primary risk factor of coronary heart disease, ischemic & haemorrhagic stroke.
Track 1: Hypertension
Hypertension can also be called as high blood pressure. It can severely impact the quality of life & increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and death. Hypertension has no symptoms. If untreated, it may cause heart disease and stroke. High blood pressure which is not caused by any condition or disease is called primary hypertension. If it occurs as a result of any other condition is called as secondary hypertension.
 
Pulmonary Hypertension or PH is high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs & the right side of the heart. In one form of pulmonary hypertension, tiny arteries in the lungs & capillaries become narrowed, blocked or destroyed. This makes it harder for blood to flow through the lungs & thus raises the pressure within lung walls. As the pressure builds, the heart's lower right chamber works harder to pump blood through the lungs, eventually causing the heart muscle fail. Some forms of pulmonary hypertension are serious conditions that become progressively worse & are sometimes fatal. This session mainly talks about the classification, signs, symptoms, & treatments of Pulmonary Hypertension.
 
Cardiac arrest   can be defined as a sudden stop in effective blood flow due to the failure of the heart. It is caused when the heart's electrical system malfunctions. The individual section in the session talks about all the related heart diseases. In cardiac arrest death results when the heart suddenly stops working properly. This may be caused by abnormal, or irregular, heart rhythms, cardiomyopathy (A thickened heart muscle), Heart medications, Electrical abnormalities, Recreational drug uses. Some symptoms of the arrest could be a sudden loss of responsiveness, abnormal breathing, fainting, fatigue, blackouts, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, & vomiting. The most common cause for Cardiac arrest is the coronary heart disease. Coronary artery disease often results in coronary ischemia & ventricular fibrillation.
 
Hypertension   refers to the pressure that blood applies to the inner walls of the arteries. Obesity increases the chances of cardiovascular disease. The individual session in this focuses on obesity-related cardiovascular disease, its interaction with the outcomes of hypertension, risk factors, treatment & management of cardiovascular disease. Obesity-associated arterial hypertension is characterized by activation of the sympathetic system, activation of the renin-angiotensin system, & sodium retention, among different abnormalities Anti-hypertension medications ought to be started if hypertension is diagnosed. But, with weight-loss, a major fall in force per unit area could allow a decrease within the range of medicines taken or decrease the quantity of medication taken. Prevention would be better than any drug.
 
Stressful situations can lead the blood to spike up temporarily but sometimes it may cause high blood pressure too. Research is still in progress to find out about it. According to some reports, the change in the blood pressure behavior can be due to various habits like overeating, drinking or poor sleeping. It’s possible that health conditions related to stress like anxiety, depression, & isolation from friends & family may lead to heart disease but not to a high blood pressure condition. Some hormonal changes may damage your arteries leading towards heart disease. According to the National Health Interview Survey, almost 75% of the general population experiences some stress every week.  A stroke occurs when a blood vessel to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts, a part of the brain stops to get the required amount of blood & oxygen & hence it starts to die. Since the brain controls the entire body so it can threaten one’s ability to think, move & function. Hence Hypertension is the most prevalent & powerful modifiable risk factor for stroke.
 
Hypertension can lead to many complications of diabetes. Most people affected with Diabetes are more prone to suffer Hypertension. Diabetes damages the arteries & makes them targets for hardening   & if it is not treated then it may also cause blood vessel damage, heart attack, & kidney failure too. In this section of the main, we discuss various types of Diabetes, risk factors that are involved in it, controlling hypertension in patients with Diabetes & Treatment.
 
High blood pressure, which is also called hypertension increase the risk of developing many serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, & kidney disease. Evaluation& Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommendations have defined hypertension”as a BP of ≥140/90 mm Hg. The risk of cardiovascular disease in the patient with hypertension can be greatly reduced with effective antihypertensive therapy. Maintaining   normal body weight, following a proper diet plan, exercising regularly, avoiding high-sodium content foods, limited alcohol consumption & pressure account.
 
High blood pressure can be cured. The disease can be controlled by following a proper & healthy lifestyle. As per recommended by various doctors by having a healthy lifestyle, eating less salt in your regular diet, quitting smoking, consuming the limited amount of alcohol can help in curing the disease. In addition to this regular exercise will also help in controlling the disease. Drug treatments are available too for Hypertension. Various drugs are available in the market that allows the individual person to do that in which few are-Thiazide diuretics, Beta blockers, Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), Calcium channel blockers, Central-acting agents, Alpha blockers, Aldosterone antagonists.
 
High blood pressure has several causative factors like age, race, case history and obesity, not being physically active, overwhelming tobacco, an excessive amount of salt (sodium) in diet, deficient Vitamin D in the diet, drinking an excessive amount of alcohol, stress and bound chronic conditions. Though high pressure is commonest in adults, youngsters are also in danger, too. For a few youngsters, high pressure is caused by issues with the kidneys or heart except for a growing variety of youngsters, poor fashion habits, like an unhealthy diet, fleshiness, physiological condition and lack of exercise contributes to high pressure. Cardiovascular disease represents the leading reason for morbidity and mortality in Western countries, and hypertension-related vessel events influence regarding 37 million individuals annually, worldwide.
 
Track 10: Healthcare
 Health care is improved maintenance or of health through prevention, diagnosis, treatment of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental issues in human beings. Healthcare is delivered by health professionals like Physicians and associates. Nursing, Dentistry, medicine, psychology, and other health professions are part of healthcare.  Healthcare systems are established to meet the health needs of targeted populations.  It includes work done in providing primary, secondary, and tertiary care.
 
Healthcare and technology can be termed as health information technology (HIT) or Health IT. The HIT is the application of knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures, and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve the quality of lives. In recent days, most of the healthcare units and providers are using health IT to improve patient care. Advancements in medical technology have allowed physicians to better diagnose and treat their patients since the beginning of the professional practice of medicine.
 
Health informatics is the integrative field which deals with the health information technology and includes the subjective, computer and social science.  Informatics is the science of knowing more about human health and to deliver a good outcome using that knowledge. A balanced diet is vital for good health and food provides energy, protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals for a body to live, grow and function properly. Diet and nutrition play an important role in major causes of death, illness, and disability like coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, atherosclerosis, obesity, cancer, osteoporosis, dental caries, and gallbladder disease. It explains the interaction of nutrients and other food substances in relation to the maintenance of an organism, growth and health diseases.
