あらすじ・解説
On today's episode of Bottom Line Up Front, my guest is Dr. Hussain Haideri the section chief of ambulatory medicine for VA Bonham, Plano and CBOC.
Dr. Haideri is a nephrologist and is joining the show today to share his expertise on hypertension or high blood pressure.
Hypertension, if left untreated, can lead to severe complications including an increased risk for heart attack and stroke. VA research into hypertension includes medication safety, non-pharmacologic interventions, care delivery, and care access for Veterans.
Hypertension is estimated to affect over 30 percent of all Veterans annually and according to one VA study, nearly 75% of Veterans who suffered stroke. Information about VA's research into Hypertension can be found Here.
In 2019, The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) recognized VA North Texas as the ‘Gold Standard’ for controlling both hypertension and high cholesterol among its patient population.
