In a randomized clinical trial of 780 children with blood lead concentrations of 20-44 [micro]g/dL at 12-33 months of age, we compared the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the succimer-treated group and placebo group for up to 5 years of follow-up. After the tests, the men who had had a stressful event before their heart attacks took longer to stabilize their systolic blood pressures--the high number of the two readings--and heart rate than did the other men, Steptoe and his colleagues report in an upcoming Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Compared to ones taking normal water, the levels of blood pressure, namely systolic arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, pulse pressure and total peripheral resistance, in those taking deep seawater were substantially lowered. |
