Hypertension - Treatment

When blood pressure is very high, it is necessary to intervene with the pharmacological treatment prescribed by the doctor or specialist after considering the systolic and diastolic pressure values, the presence of certain diseases, the presence of other risk factors and family history.

Hypertension treatment not only allows normal blood pressure values to be restored to within normal limits, but also protects the target organs of hypertension and corrects any organ damage already underway. Suffice to say that reducing blood pressure by just 5 mmHg, cuts the risk of stroke by 34%, that of a heart attack by 21% and cuts the risk of developing vascular dementia, cardiac decompensation, atrial fibrillation and dying due to cardiovascular causes.

Once the most suitable drug has been established, treatment should be maintained for the rest of your life.
