Until On the Pulse | Managing High Blood Pressure: Understanding, Diagnosing, and Treating Hypertension Begins

Event Details:

Join us for our series of free, virtual presentations from physician leaders in research and care at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation® (MHIF) and the Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute® (AHMHI) who will address the latest in cardiovascular treatment and advancements.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly half of adults in the United States have hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. This condition is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it frequently presents with no symptoms, yet it significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health complications. Take charge of your health by gaining the knowledge you need to better understand, prevent, and manage high blood pressure.

Join this On the Pulse session to learn more about:
- The significance of high blood pressure and its impact on overall health.
- How hypertension is diagnosed, including the methods and criteria used by healthcare professionals.
- The various treatment options for hypertension, including lifestyle modifications and medical interventions.
