Blood Pressure Management

At Temple Health Hospital, we offer comprehensive strategies and treatments for managing high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Our multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals collaborates to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and health goals.

Overview of Strategies and Treatments

Lifestyle Modifications

Dietary Changes: Our registered dietitians work with patients to develop heart-healthy meal plans that emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while minimizing sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars.
Physical Activity: We provide personalized exercise recommendations to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular fitness, and lower blood pressure.
