Conditions We Treat

Pressures on the NHS throughout the UK have been widely publicised lately, as it becomes increasingly difficult to access health services, with excessive waiting times.

 

Many patients are waiting several months to discuss their symptoms of chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, etc with a Cardiologist. Or even if they have, there is now a significant wait to have the appropriate tests to investigate things further.

 

This page is designed as an educational resource to give patients some helpful information about some cardiac conditions and will be updated every few weeks.

Hypertension – what you need to know.

Hypertension means high blood pressure (BP). The normal blood pressure is around 120/80mmHg. The first number represents the pressure generated by the heart as it pumps. The second number represents the pressure remaining in the arteries when the heart relaxes. Hypertension generally refers to systolic hypertension i.e. the first number is high, usually above 140mmHg. There is most commonly no underlying cause for this in 80-90% of cases and it is known as Essential Hypertension.
