High Blood Pressure: What Your Cardiologist Wants You to Know About Hypertension

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- High blood pressure is a silent killer because it can cause damage to your body without causing any symptoms. In this video I review the basics of what I share with my patients when discussing high blood pressure.
I review how we diagnose high blood pressure, how to take your blood pressure at home, non-pharmacologic diet and lifestyle changes you can implement today to lower your blood pressure naturally, and a brief review of the three classes of medications that we use to treat high blood pressure.
I hope that by the end of this video you are able to better understand a chronic condition that impacts millions of individuals worldwide and help empower you to better understand and control your hypertension. And if you take one lesson from this video it is that we typically start treating high blood pressure when either the top number (systolic) s greater than 130 or the bottom number (diastolic) is greater than 80.

Great video! I saw one of your previous shorts where you mentioned being frustrated about providers using beta blockers as first line antihypertensives. I wondered your reasoning behind it, but this video explains it! Makes total sense.
I really enjoyed this video 👍
thanks for putting up such an informative video!! By the way Link of your socials on your bio aren't working
No amount of alcohol consumption is safe. Cardiovascular disease goes down, cancer rate goes in the opposite direction.
Sir i am bit little confuse I've heard surgeons are physicians to so when a cardiac surgeon can do surgery and prescribe medicine than why are cardiologist made , like when a general surgeon can do surgery and gives medicine for general disease than why internal medicine doctors are made
Hello Doctor Katz, I have a concerning question. I am a healthy 23 year old male who is fairly active but have a very low diastollic blood pressure, 110/55 in the morning and in the evening sometimes it goes as low as 110/40 but I have not the symptoms of fatigue or dizziness. I have read somewhere that a low diastollic blood pressure long term will lead to heart failure. I went to my doctor but he said it was not concerning because I am not of old age, so he didn't send me to a cardiologist. Do I have a heart condition? Or is this normal?
Help! Just left Dr office and 180/100, 160/90 went home 158/93 - do I take 25 mg metoprolol - never had high blood pressure - now anxious because it’s still high at home
Perhaps rewatch the entire video. And talk to your doctor. I can’t provide personalized medical advice
Is it dangerous for someone who has hypertension (under medication) to move to a high elevation place, like Denver, Colorado, or Flagstaff, Arizona?
I don’t see why it would be. Certainly can check your BP before/after the move to see if elevation made a clinically significant impact on your BP and if it sustained or resolved over time
@@MarcKatzMD From the American College of Cardiology:
"High Altitude Exposure Among People With Cardiovascular Conditions"
The article lists 8 areas of concern at high altitude, although their measure is at about 8,200 feet above sea level.
I wasn't sure if that meant there is no concern at higher elevations below that mark, or if any impact would be negligible, even under physical exercise conditions, in general.
Help! Just left Dr office and 180/100, 160/90 went home 158/93 - do I take 25 mg metoprolol
You should talk to your doctor
Sir do you earn 600k dollars a year as a cardiologist? Plz reply in yes or no. Thanks a lot.
I wanna add that finding the heart w the help of the nipples isn’t a good help. While this is for skinny men, this doesn’t go for women (esp women who aren’t 17 yo or w more breast tissue) and overweight folks. Let’s not leave out women of health discussions, medicine and particularly cardiology historically have been notorious for that
Certainly. The left upper chest portion or below the shoulder works too
