Blood pressure response to daily stress provides clues for better hypertension treatment
Date:8/14/2008

exacerbates all the factors they are following, which they believe it does.

One reason the Georgia Prevention Institute was founded was to identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease, says Dr. Harshfield. In his 10 years at the institute, the agenda has shifted from looking at precursor development of adult hypertension to identifying mechanisms causing pediatric hypertension, a disease that didn't exist when most hypertension textbooks were written, he says.

"Our ultimate goal, of course, is prevention," he says. "But when we can't do that, we want to give physicians ways to determine precisely the cause or causes of your hypertension and optimal ways to target your disease."

The MCG Department of Biostatistics, chaired by Dr. Varghese George, is designing the studies for the Program Project grant to ensure scientifically validity and managing data for all the program projects.
