A Chinese study reveals a new risk factor that contributes to the development of hypertension in humans. This factor was the tendency of a person to allergic reactions, according to CNN..

A study conducted by specialists from Shenzhen University helped to identify groups of patients who were more likely to be diagnosed with hypertension.

Among the group of participants who had a history of a number of chronic diseases, it was people suffering from various forms of allergies who were most often diagnosed with heart disease and high blood pressure.. In total, about 10,000 volunteers were invited to participate in the scientific study, whose age was 18-57 years..

A deeper study of these participants showed that allergies can not only cause the development of hypertension, but also significantly increase the chances of developing coronary heart disease among people over 39 years old..

“We believe that, against the background of the data obtained, the examination of patients with established allergic reactions should be more expanded, and include additional examinations of people who applied for help for a possible risk of developing cardiovascular pathology.. Patients should monitor their blood pressure so that if it rises, they can start timely treatment of hypertension,” says Yang Guo, author of the project..
