The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology redefined high blood pressure as a reading of 130 over 80, down from 140 over 90.

The work is particularly sensitive because it involves changes to the germ line, genes that could be passed on to future generations.

One of the most heart-wrenching public health problems facing the world has been the large number of women who die during or after childbirth despite all our medical progress.
