High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is extremely common – and the risk increases as we age. If left untreated, it can lead to a number of serious health problems. Fortunately, there are many ways that you and your doctor can successfully manage hypertension.

Join Ifeoma Ugonabo, MD, for an interactive discussion about how you can take control of your blood pressure. Dr. Ugonabo is a specialty care physician board certified in cardiovascular disease. She also obtained subspecialty board certifications in echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and cardiac computed tomography.

Why it matters:

High blood pressure is known as a silent killer because most people don’t have any symptoms. It can lead to many serious illnesses, including heart disease, stroke, cognitive decline, kidney damage and vision loss. Lifestyle changes, ongoing monitoring and medication can help keep hypertension under control and, in some cases, even prevent it.
