Take care of your blood pressure
There’s something new about diagnosing high blood pressure! The Brazilian Society of Cardiology published new guidelines this month and the main recommendation is that the measurement carried out in the office is not the only one to be taken into account to determine whether or not a patient is hypertensive. “This is a situation well known to cardiologists. Many patients have what we informally call ‘white coat hypertension’, when the patient becomes stressed and nervous in front of the doctor and ends up having changes in heart rate and blood pressure”, says the cardiologist at Hospital São Vicente de Paulo, Aristarco Siqueira Filho.

The cardiologist must instruct his patients to take blood pressure measurements at home and, as necessary, to perform ABPM, an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring test carried out over 24 hours.

“As it is a disease that progresses silently, it is often discovered late. It is also common for patients not to follow the recommended treatment because they do not feel anything different, but controlling hypertension is essential. This condition is responsible for 80% of cases of stroke. Treating hypertension reduces the chances of death from stroke by 40% and by 20% from myocardial infarction”, explains the cardiologist.

To keep levels under control, in addition to keeping up to date with your appointments and exams, the specialist recommends controlling body weight, maintaining a healthy diet with low salt and fat intake, practicing physical activity regularly, not smoking, and avoiding the consumption of beverages. alcohol and control diseases such as diabetes.
