High blood pressure kills but it’s preventable and treatable



Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a leading contributor to heart disease and stroke, two diseases which together account for 1 in 5 premature deaths (under age 65). In the past decade, the prevalence of hypertension has increased by 11%. Today, over 1 in 4 adults (estimated 1.8 million people) report having hypertension

Diagnosing and treating high blood pressure with lifestyle counselling and with the right medications can prevent hospital admissions, heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and premature death. Although genetics plays a role, it is clear that lifestyle and diet are a major component. It is often a silent manifestation of underlying untreated medical, behavioural or social conditions. Education, periodic early screening and lifestyle modification significantly delay and even prevent the onset of the disease.

Taking Control of Your Blood Pressure:
  •  Be Physically Active: for 30 to 60 minutes a day. Try walking, bicycling, swimming, urban poling and or cross country skiing
  •    Adjust your diet to the Dash Diet which means Dietary approaches to stop hypertension. Dash diet includes reduced salt to 2300 milligrams a day, it includes 6 to 8 servings a day of whole grains, 4 to 5 servings of fruits, 4 to 5 servings of vegetables, 2 to 3 servings of low fat dairy, 6 servings of fish, poultry, nuts, seeds. It is low in saturated fats, cholesterol and total fat.
  •     Eat less sodium
  •     Limit alcohol to one a day for women and two drinks a day for men.
  •     Manage your weight: if you’re overweight losing ten lbs will lower blood pressure.
  •     Do not smoke: stopping smoking reduces risk of dying
  •     Reduce stress; reduction of stress will lower blood pressure

Can Renal Denervation control Resistant Hypertension??

Can Renal Denervation control Resistant Hypertension?? It is well known fact that if hypertension is not treated on time then it can turn into resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension refers to the condition where blood pressure remains high even after taking three antihypertensive agents of different classes. After various studies it has been seen that renal denervation can lower the blood pressure in hypertensive Patients who are not taking medications. Renal denervation is less painful, endovascular catheter based procedure which uses radio frequency or ultrasound ablation. This procedure removes the nerves in the wall of renal artery by radio frequency pulses or ultrasound. Due to this there is reduction of afferent and efferent activity to the kidney and as a result blood pressure can be reduced. Basically renal denervation provides energy to the kidney nerves and regulates the blood pressure. Studies were conducted to check the efficacy of the t
