Dr. Wang Xin
Hypertension is a common chronic disease characterized primarily by persistently elevated arterial blood pressure. Patients with hypertension should seek medical attention at the Department of Cardiology (Cardiovascular Medicine). Cardiology is a medical specialty focusing on diseases of the heart and blood vessels. As an important component of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension falls within the primary scope of diagnosis and treatment by cardiologists. In the cardiology department, doctors will develop individualized treatment plans based on the patient's blood pressure levels, symptoms, clinical signs, and possible complications. These plans typically include pharmacological therapy and lifestyle modifications aimed at controlling blood pressure and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. Patients with hypertension should actively seek consultation at the cardiology department to receive professional treatment.
