Specialized hypertension diagnosis, treatment, and management for adults at risk, addressing the ‘silent killer’ affecting over a billion people worldwide.
Hypertension is a major public health concern and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and kidney failure. Despite its high prevalence, many individuals with hypertension are either undiagnosed or inadequately managed.
1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women or over a billion people worldwide have high blood pressure. Many people with hypertension do not notice symptoms and may be unaware there is a problem. Hence the term “Silent Killer”. Thus, screening is key to make the diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment.
Our Hypertension Clinic aims at improving the diagnosis, treatment, and management of hypertension in our community. The clinic serves women and men aged 18 and older who are diagnosed with hypertension or at high risk for developing hypertension.
