Hypertension (Blood Pressure) Management

Hypertension (Blood Pressure) Management

At Cardiac Network Australia in Auburn, we understand that high blood pressure—also known as hypertension—is one of the most common and important risk factors for heart disease. Often called the “silent killer,” hypertension usually has no noticeable symptoms but can cause serious long-term damage if left untreated.

Our goal is to help you control your blood pressure effectively and reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

What is Hypertension?
Blood pressure measures the force of your blood against your artery walls. When this pressure remains high over time, it puts extra strain on your heart and blood vessels. Over the years, this can lead to heart failure, kidney disease, or vision problems.

Our Approach to Managing Hypertension:
During your visit, we take a comprehensive approach that includes:

• Detailed Assessment: Reviewing your medical history, lifestyle, and any existing risk factors such as cholesterol levels, diabetes, or family history.

• Accurate Measurement: Multiple blood pressure readings to confirm your diagnosis and identify patterns over time.

• Individualised Treatment Plan: Developing a personalised plan that may include lifestyle adjustments and, if necessary, medications to help control your blood pressure.

• Lifestyle Guidance:

  • Healthy eating habits (such as reducing salt intake and increasing fruit and vegetables).

  • Regular physical activity tailored to your fitness level.

  • Weight management and stress reduction techniques.

  • Avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol.

• Ongoing Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments to ensure your blood pressure remains within a healthy range and to adjust treatment as needed.

Why It Matters:
Keeping your blood pressure under control is one of the most effective ways to prevent heart disease and protect your overall health. With expert guidance and the right management plan, hypertension can be controlled successfully in most people.

At Cardiac Network Australia, we work with you every step of the way to ensure your blood pressure—and your heart—stay healthy for life.
