Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition where the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. High blood pressure means that the heart must work harder to pump blood, which can lead to arterial damage and various health complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, and other health problems. At Garduno Family Medicine, we treat and manage most hypertension needs and coordinate care with specialists if that is required.
