According to the American Heart Association, over 30 percent of American adults have high blood pressure (hypertension). Many are unaware, or the condition goes undertreated because there are often no symptoms. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can increase the likelihood of stroke, heart attack, heart failure, or kidney damage. AMG providers are trained to measure and assess your blood pressure and help you to understand what your numbers mean. If your diagnosis indicates high blood pressure, they can provide you with a personalized initial treatment plan.
High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of heart disease. People with high blood pressure are at greater risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and even death. It is estimated that 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure and many are unaware or undertreated because there are often no symptoms. If high blood pressure is noted through our screening process, our providers can recommend an initial treatment plan.
