Common virus causes high blood pressure?

High blood pressure could be caused by a common virus, according to a study carried out by a team of Chinese doctors which could lead to better treatment for millions of people around the world.
The team from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital’s cardiology centre says it has found the first evidence of a link between the human cytomegalovirus and the most commonly occurring form of hypertension, or high blood pressure. The virus infects most people at some time during their lives, but frequently causes no symptoms, so goes undetected.
One of the report’s authors, Yang Xinchun, told AFP the findings could eventually lead to the development of a vaccine to control or prevent high blood pressure. “If we can get conclusive evidence of the relationship, we can get better medical vaccines and remedies for hypertension,” said Yang, head of the cardiology centre. —afp
