About Hypertension

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is not a single procedure but a chronic medical condition managed by a cardiologist through a comprehensive, long-term treatment plan. This management involves accurate diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, and often medication to lower and control blood pressure, thereby preventing damage to vital organs like the heart, brain, and kidneys. A cardiologist's approach is personalized, utilizing diagnostic tests such as ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiograms to assess cardiovascular health. Effective management is crucial for reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure, making it a cornerstone of preventive cardiology for long-term patient wellness.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
