About Isolated Systolic Hypertension

Isolated Systolic Hypertension (ISH) is a common form of hypertension, primarily diagnosed and managed by Internal Medicine specialists. It is characterized by an elevated systolic blood pressure (typically ≥130 mmHg) while the diastolic pressure remains normal (<80 mmHg). This condition is particularly prevalent in older adults due to age-related stiffening of the arteries. The 'procedure' involves a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, including accurate blood pressure measurement, lifestyle assessment, and ruling out secondary causes. Management is not a single procedure but a continuous process focused on lifestyle modifications (like diet and exercise) and, when necessary, antihypertensive medication to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. Regular monitoring and personalized treatment plans are central to effective long-term control.
