Blood Pressure Management
A Silent but Significant Risk
High blood pressure, otherwise known as hypertension, is often considered a silent killer. That’s because high blood pressure typically has no symptoms but poses a significant risk for heart disease and stroke. Based on updates in 2017 to blood pressure guidelines by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure. Further, an estimated 50 million women have hypertension in the US with rates expected to double among women under age 45.
