The key is to diagnose hypertension accurately and manage it proactively to mitigate the significant health risks associated with uncontrolled high blood pressure. Potential consequences of undiagnosed or inadequately treated hypertension include: -Increased mortality rates - Globally, 13% of deaths are attributed to high blood pressure each year. - Increased risk of premature heart disease and cardiovascular disease. Hypertension is the most prevalent modifiable risk factor for these conditions. Strategies to improve blood pressure management and reduce associated mortality rates include: -Regular blood pressure screening - Yearly for healthy individuals, and biannually for those at higher risk. -Proper blood pressure measurement techniques . Ensuring the patient is rested, seated properly, and using the right cuff size. -Encouraging home blood pressure monitoring using validated devices. - Identifying and addressing potential secondary causes of hypertension, such as medications, medical conditions like sleep apnea, thyroid or kidney disease, and so on. -Comprehensive treatment approaches, including lifestyle modifications and appropriate medication management, to control blood pressure effectively.
