Hypertension Interventions

Hypertension – When your blood pressure is high your heart has to work harder to pump the blood throughout the body, over time this can cause the muscle to become thicker and the muscle will eventually become weak and not pump effectively.

Interventions: depending on the stage of hypertension the patient can treat with lifestyle changes (exercise, diet), ACE inhibitor, calcium channel blocker, or angiotensin receptor blockers
