Hypertension continues to kill millions... 

Despite over 150 medications available, effective treatment for hypertension is not always achievable. Each medication varies in its effects and may work differently for individuals based on their unique characteristics, such as age, sex and gender, genetics, environment, and underlying health conditions. However, managing hypertension often requires a holistic approach that goes beyond medication alone. Lifestyle changes, such as improving nutrition, adopting regular physical activity, and reducing stress, play a crucial role in supporting long-term vascular health. Adjusting dietary habits to reduce sodium intake, increasing consumption of heart-healthy foods, and being mindful of social and cultural influences that impact diet and lifestyle choices are all important factors in managing hypertension. By combining personalized medication selection with positive lifestyle changes and an understanding of sociocultural influences, we can work together to improve blood pressure control and overall well-being.
