Hypertension Management

What is Hypertension?
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood against your artery walls stays too high over time. It’s often called the "silent killer" because it usually has no symptoms, but can lead to serious problems like:

• Heart attack

• Stroke

• Kidney damage

• Heart failure

 

Who is at Risk?

• People with a family history of hypertension

• Those who are overweight or inactive

• High salt or alcohol intake

• Stress and poor sleep

• Diabetes or high cholesterol

 

How Can a Cardiologist Help?

• A Cardiologist specializes in heart and blood vessel health. They can:

• Accurately diagnose high blood pressure

• Check for damage to your heart, kidneys, or eyes

• Prescribe medications tailored to your condition

• Guide lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress control)

• Monitor long-term heart health to prevent complications

 

Early detection and regular follow-up with a Cardiologist can prevent serious problems and help you live a healthy life.
