World Hypertension Day 2024: Dr. Ajay Kumar Agrawal Explains How to Measure & Control Blood Pressure
Dr Ajay Kumar Agrawal, Senior Consultant in Interventional Cardiology at Narayana Hospital - Brahmananda, Jamshedpur, will discuss World Hypertension Day, initiated by the World Hypertension League. The main goal is to spread awareness about hypertension, which is also known as high blood pressure.
Many people think high blood pressure is a minor issue, but it contributes to 40% of heart diseases, such as heart failure, heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems. The World Hypertension League started this day to help people learn more about this condition, understand the importance of monitoring blood pressure, and know the critical, associated tests and complications.
The theme for World Hypertension Day 2024 is "Measure Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer." This theme emphasises the importance of accurately measuring and controlling blood pressure to ensure long-term health.
Accurate blood pressure measurement is crucial. Nowadays, automatic machines are available in the market. It's important to use the correct cuff size that covers at least two-thirds of your arm. A small cuff may show higher blood pressure, while a large cuff may show lower. Sit comfortably with back support and feet flat on the ground, and avoid coffee, smoking, or using a full bladder to ensure accurate readings. Ideally, multiple readings should be taken, and blood pressure should be measured on both arms for the first time to find an accurate measurement.
Dr Agrawal’s insights underline the critical need for awareness and proactive management of hypertension. We can all lead longer, healthier lives by staying informed and adopting healthier practices.
