Last week, we participated in our annual blood pressure screenings for Million Hearts Week. We went to 3 pharmacies and conducted over 30 blood pressure screenings
New guidelines for the management of blood pressure were recently released. MOD went through the guidelines and created a new chart for patients to determine their blood pressure goals. The treatment goals listed below are for people who are diagnosed with hypertension. Note that if you have Diabetes, your blood pressure goal is probably less than 140 over 90. If you are over 60 years old and don't have diabetes, your goal might be less than 150 over 90. Consult your doctor to determine what blood pressure goals are right for you.
