Hypertension (high blood pressure) and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) are two of the most common and serious risk factors for heart disease. At TruCare 360 Telehealth and Wellness, we offer personalized care to help you manage these conditions, reduce your risks, and improve your overall health—all from the comfort of your home.
Hypertension: Often called the “silent killer,” high blood pressure occurs when the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
Normal Blood Pressure: Less than 120/80 mmHg.
Hypertension: Greater than 130/80 mmHg.
Hyperlipidemia: High cholesterol refers to elevated levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, particularly LDL (bad cholesterol), which can lead to plaque buildup in arteries.
Both conditions are often asymptomatic but can cause severe complications without proper management.
Unhealthy Diet
High in saturated fats, sodium, and sugars.
Lack of Exercise
Sedentary lifestyles contribute to weight gain and poor heart health.
Obesity
Excess weight increases strain on your heart and arteries.
Smoking & Alcohol
Both can negatively impact cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
