New Technology Supports Behavior Change in Hypertension Management

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is the most common modifiable cause of death in the world and affects 1.3 – 1.4 billion people worldwide including almost 50% of people over the age of 65. Consistently controlling blood pressure over time is the most crucial element in minimizing the risks of blood pressure driven diseases such as stroke, heart disease, heart failure, kidney disease, cognitive decline, vision loss, reproductive diseases and more. Consequently, episodic monitoring of blood pressure is antiquated as it does not assess blood pressure values consistently over time. New technology offers “continuous” blood pressure monitoring and personalized feedback on how specific lifestyle changes are impacting blood pressure levels. While only 50% of people with HTN are “salt sensitive” there are some dietary modifications that can reduce the intake of sodium while keeping flavor in mind.

Tune into this episode with cardiologist Dr. Jay Shah and dietitian Angel Planells to learn about:

· Hypertension (HTN) facts – definition, prevalence, diagnosis and management

· Typical diet and lifestyle recommendations for HTN
