Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
What do giraffes have to do with High Blood Pressure?
In its search for more knowledge about baffling dis-
eases, medical science takes some strange turns. For
example, doctors have gone to Africa to study the
blood pressure of giraffes.
They found that it takes an unusually high pressure
to pump blood from the giraffe's heart to his brain-a
distance of some 14 to 15 feet. Yet, its heart and blood
vessels are not under strain.
Doctors are trying to learn more about how this is
accomplished for it could shed new light on the disorder
affecting an estimated 6 million Americans-high blood
pressure or hypertension.
Fortunately, most cases of hypertension can be helped
by proper treatment. In fact, it can often be controlled
simply by relieving day-to-day emotional stresses which
push blood pressure up and tend to keep it excessively
elevated.
If you have hypertension, your doctor may suggest a
way of life especially adapted to your needs. Among
other things, he will probably recommend plenty of rest
and weight control. The latter is important in treating,
and possibly preventing, hypertension. In fact, hypertension
is four times as common in overweight men as in
those who are underweight.
If changes in living habits do not control this disorder,
then other treatments . . . including medicines, special
diets or surgery . . . may be used.
Hypertension is more easily controlled when discovered
early. So, everyone should have periodic health
examinations. Those who have reached middle age, are
overweight, or whose parents or close relatives had elevated
blood pressure should be especially watchful.
When hypertension is diagnosed, a patient should
continue to see the doctor regularly. Then possible complications
can be prevented, postponed or, if they occur,
treated promptly.
