New research out of Queen Mary University of London and Barts Hospital, and Cambridge University Hospital has found “a new type of CT scan to light up tiny nodules in a hormone gland and cure high blood pressure by their removal. The nodules are discovered in one-in-twenty people with high blood pressure.” This is an important advancement because according to the Minister of State for Health Will Quince, “Around a third of adults in the UK have high blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.” With this new 10-minute scan, more people will be able to be cured of high blood pressure.
