At the Cardiovascular Institute of San Diego, we want to treat your high blood pressure and high cholesterol before you develop cardiovascular disease. By proactively managing these modifiable risk factors, we can reduce your risk of developing heart disease later in life. We will teach you the proper technique for checking your blood pressure at home, give you a blood pressure diary to complete daily, and review together at your next appointment to evaluate changes in your treatment. If you have already had a heart attack or stroke, aggressively controlling these risk factors is key for secondary prevention. Let us partner with you to be healthier and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
