High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to stroke, heart failure and heart attacks. It is also one of the most common cardiovascular conditions affecting the United States population. Fortunately, there is safe and effective treatment for this condition with medications; however, the wide variety of medications can lead to side effects and cause medication interactions.
Merrimack Valley Cardiology has established a follow-up clinic to provide close monitoring, and sometimes frequent adjustment in medications, that may be needed to establish proper blood pressure control with minimal side effects.
