High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because it usually causes no symptoms while gradually increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, and vision loss.
Our approach begins with confirming an accurate diagnosis and identifying factors that contribute to elevated blood pressure. Lifestyle modifications—including weight management, reduced sodium intake, regular exercise, moderation of alcohol use, and smoking cessation—play an important role in treatment.
Many patients also benefit from medication. We carefully select medications based on each patient’s medical history, kidney function, other health conditions, and treatment goals while monitoring for side effects.
Maintaining healthy blood pressure is one of the most effective ways to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk and preserve overall health.
