Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a silent but significant risk factor for heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss. At International Modern Hospital, the Hypertension Management Program is designed as a Family Medicine–driven, long-term care model to ensure sustained blood pressure control and prevention of complications.

Many patients with hypertension remain undiagnosed or inadequately treated due to lack of symptoms. IMH emphasizes early detection through routine screening in Family Medicine clinics, particularly for patients with diabetes, obesity, smoking history, or a family history of cardiovascular disease.

The program starts with accurate diagnosis using standardized blood pressure measurements, home BP monitoring, and evaluation for secondary causes when indicated. Risk stratification includes assessment of cholesterol levels, blood sugar, kidney function, ECG findings, and lifestyle factors.

Family Medicine physicians develop individualized treatment plans that combine pharmacological therapy with lifestyle modification. Medication selection is tailored to patient age, comorbidities, and tolerance, ensuring effective control with minimal side effects.

Lifestyle counseling addresses salt reduction, weight management, physical activity, stress management, smoking cessation, and sleep hygiene. Patients are educated on home BP monitoring and encouraged to actively participate in their care.

Regular follow-ups allow for medication titration, monitoring of organ function, and reinforcement of adherence. The program also integrates cardiovascular risk reduction strategies, including lipid management and diabetes screening.

Through structured follow-up, patient education, and continuity of care, IMH’s Hypertension Management Program reduces long-term cardiovascular risk and supports healthier, longer lives.
