Hypertension is a common condition in which the force of blood against the artery wall is consistently too high. Over time, increased pressure in the arterial space can result in end organ damage such as stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Hypertension affects millions of men and women and is a leading cause of heart disease and other serious medical conditions. Hypertension is commonly referred to as the silent killer since it can show no symptoms and can go undiagnosed for years. Hence, early detection and management is crucial to avoid adverse outcomes.
Several factors contribute to high blood pressure, and these include:
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). It has a systolic component (top number) and a diastolic component (bottom number).
There are four main categories of blood pressure reading as defined by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.
It is important to have your blood pressure checked every 2 years starting at age 18. However, if you are at high risk for hypertension or have been diagnosed with hypertension, you will need to measure blood pressure more frequently.
Our primary care doctors provide adequate care in the management of high blood pressure. Your medical history and measurement of blood pressure helps in making a diagnosis of high blood pressure. When the diagnosis of hypertension is made, we will be happy to assist you in creating an effective plan that will help in controlling blood pressure and improving your health as well.
