The function of the pulmonary artery is to pump blood through the heart’s pumping chamber and into the lungs to pick up oxygen in the lungs before returning to the heart through the other side. This is the process the heart and lungs perform to add oxygen to blood before sending it to the body. Hypertension in general is another term for high blood pressure. Ultimately, primary ...

A diet high in fructose increases your risk of developing high blood pressure. Cutting back on processed foods and beverages that contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may therefore help prevent hypertension. Over the last 200 years, the rate of fructose intake has directly paralleled the increasing rate of obesity. Obesity has increased sharply in the last 20 years since the introduction of HFCS.

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have identified a key protein that promotes the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension in humans and mice. This groundbreaking discovery has implications for future drug therapies that may extend the life of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and prevent the need for lung transplantation, currently the only cure for this debilitating disease.
