Blood pressure and heart problems refer to a range of cardiovascular conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels. High or low blood pressure can strain the heart and other organs, while heart diseases can impair the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. These conditions can be caused by genetics, lifestyle factors, obesity, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, and more. If left untreated, they can lead to serious complications like stroke, heart failure, or sudden cardiac arrest.
Who Needs Treatment?
Patients who experience:
- Persistent high or low blood pressure readings.
- Chest pain or discomfort (especially during activity or stress).
- Shortness of breath, especially on exertion or lying down.
- Palpitations or irregular heartbeat.
- Family history of heart disease or hypertension.
Types of Conditions Treated
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Persistent elevation in blood pressure, increasing the risk of stroke and heart attack.
- Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure): Abnormally low pressure that may cause dizziness, fainting, or shock.
- White Coat Hypertension: Elevated BP readings in clinical settings but normal otherwise.
- Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Narrowing of heart arteries due to plaque buildup, leading to angina or heart attack.
- Heart Failure: The heart’s inability to pump blood efficiently, causing fluid retention and breathlessness.
