The implant small size will soon become the ideal way to deal with this disease, such as hypertension. The device is easy to regulate blood pressure.
A unique device invented ingenious British scientists. They conducted clinical trials have shown that a miniature device copes with its task. Results of the study were published in medical journals Lancet.
The innovative «coupler» for the regulation of blood pressure, scientists have successfully tested. But to perform their functions, this tiny device, about the size of a pin, you will need to implant in the human body – in the groin area.
The device has been tested on 83 hypertensive patients. All noted that after a small surgery to implant the implant, they almost immediately feel the improvement. Blood pressure is beginning to decline. But apart from these, it would seem, such excellent results and side effects appeared. In 30% of the subjects began to show swelling in the area of implantation of the implant.
There is a group of patients whose blood pressure is difficult to medical treatment. For them, such a device would be a real saving around. The mechanism of action of the implant is as follows. In the upper part of the thigh artery and vein between the cavity is created, which reduces the resistance of flowing blood and thereby reducing blood pressure.
This method can be revolutionized the treatment of hypertension. Tom MacDonald, professor and president of the British Hypertension Society, calls it a very significant achievement. After all, its benefits clearly exceed the drawbacks.
Hypertension – persistent increase in blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg. Art. and above. Essential hypertension is 90-95% of cases of hypertension. In other cases diagnosed secondary, symptomatic arterial hypertension: renal – 3-4%, endocrine – 0.1-0.3%, hemodynamic, neurological, stress caused by intake of certain substances (iatrogenic) and hypertension during pregnancy, in which the increase in blood pressure is one of the symptoms of the underlying disease.
