ConditionsProceduresMonitoring
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a common condition that affects the force of blood against the artery walls. It can be difficult to detect as there may be no obvious symptoms. High blood pressure that is left untreated can lead to health conditions that include heart disease and increased risk of stroke. This condition can stem from having a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs whenever a buildup of plaque forms inside of the arteries that supply blood to the heart, narrowing the pathways and hardening them in the process. CAD is the most common form of heart disease and can lead to increased risk for a heart attack. The options for treatment include healthy diet, increased activity, medication, and surgery.
Congestive Heart Failure
The risk of heart failure is present whenever the heart is unable to pump or fill properly. Symptoms of this can include shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, exhaustion, and the swelling of legs. Diet and exercise, as well as medication, can be used as effective methods for treating this condition. In some cases, a defibrillator or pacemaker may need to be implanted for the best results.
Lifestyle Management
Heart disease is often preventable through healthy life choices, such as low sodium diets; moderate levels of physical activity; and the elimination of smoking. By actively managing the foods you consume and electing to live an active lifestyle, you can dramatically reduce your risk of developing heart related medical conditions.
Blood Pressure Medication
Blood pressure medication can help to effectively reduce blood pressure to a healthy range. There are many different types of blood pressure medications that work in different ways to get the same result. Speak with your doctor to learn more about the best blood pressure medication for your specific needs.
EKG
An EKG is a recording of the electrical signals taking place inside of the heart. These tests are used to track heart rate, heart rhythm, and other information related to the condition of the heart. Your doctor may order an EKG to get a better understanding of any potential irregularities you are experiencing.
Blood Pressure Monitoring
Whenever you have hypertension, it is important to monitor your blood pressure twice everyday to track your levels. Your first measurement should be when you wake up, before taking any medications or eating. The second reading should be in the evening before bed. You may need to take the reading multiple times to ensure you are getting consistent results.
