When blood pressure won’t respond to medications, it can raise the risk of serious complications like stroke and heart disease.
For Edna, 83, managing high blood pressure alongside Parkinson’s disease felt like a ‘yo-yo’ with readings as high as 200/100 at times. Our team at HCA HealthONE Mountain Ridge helped her explore another option: renal ablation, a minimally invasive procedure FDA-approved for certain patients with medication-resistant hypertension.
After her procedure, Edna was able to stop two of her three blood pressure medications and maintain readings around 130/77. If you or a loved one is struggling with blood pressure that’s hard to control, learn more about renal ablation, who may be a candidate and what to expect. ➡️ Read Edna’s story: https://bit.ly/4cvcviU
