Blood pressure control with attention to total heart risk.
High blood pressure is one of the most important risk factors for heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney disease and vascular disease. Many patients feel normal even when readings are high, so regular monitoring and structured treatment matter.
When to consult a cardiologist
- Repeated readings above the advised range.
- High BP with chest pain, breathlessness, headache, dizziness or palpitations.
- High BP with diabetes, kidney disease, previous heart disease or pregnancy-related concerns.
- Difficulty controlling BP despite medicines.
Treatment approach
Care may include blood pressure pattern review, medicine selection, side-effect review, heart and kidney risk assessment, lifestyle guidance, and follow-up planning. Sudden severe symptoms should be treated as urgent.
