Risk of Hypertension

Identify Your Risk of Hypertension – A Proactive Approach to Heart Health

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a growing health issue in India. Known as the “silent killer,” it often presents with no symptoms but significantly increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other serious health conditions. Early identification of hypertension risk is crucial to reduce complications and improve long-term outcomes.

Our Risk of Hypertension assessment tool evaluates your unique risk profile, helping you take proactive steps to manage and reduce your blood pressure.

The Growing Burden of Hypertension in India…

Beat Hypertension: Act Early, Live Healthy!

Incidence and Prevalence: Hypertension is a major public health concern in India:
- Prevalence: Over 260 million people in India suffer from hypertension, with nearly 30% of adults affected in urban areas and 25% in rural areas. Unfortunately, only 12% of these individuals have their condition under control.
- Incidence: The number of new cases is rising steadily, fueled by lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, stress, and rising obesity rates.
Comorbid Conditions: Hypertension is closely associated with several other chronic conditions:
- Cardiovascular Diseases: Hypertension is a leading risk factor for heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. Nearly 80% of patients with cardiovascular diseases in India have high blood pressure.
- Kidney Disease: Hypertension is the second most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in India, contributing to over 30% of CKD cases.
- Diabetes: Approximately 50% of individuals with diabetes also have hypertension, increasing their risk for complications.

Economic Impact of Undiagnosed/ Untreated Hypertension on the Individual…

Undiagnosed/ Untreated/ Uncontrolled hypertension can significantly impact an individual’s finances due to the high costs of managing complications that arise from the condition. Here’s how:

Treatment Costs of Complications: Unmanaged high blood pressure can lead to severe health issues that require costly medical interventions:
- - Heart Disease: Hypertension is a leading cause of heart attacks and heart failure. The treatment costs for these conditions, including hospitalizations, surgeries like angioplasty or bypass, and long-term medications, can be enormous.
  - Stroke: Hypertension increases the risk of stroke, which can lead to expensive emergency care, surgery, and rehabilitation. Stroke recovery often requires extended hospital stays, physical therapy, and medications, accumulating significant expenses.
  - Kidney Disease: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by high blood pressure may lead to kidney failure, necessitating dialysis or even a kidney transplant. Dialysis treatments alone can cost a substantial amount each year, creating a financial strain on individuals and families.
- Long-Term Medication Costs: Chronic conditions resulting from uncontrolled hypertension often require lifelong medications, such as:
  - Blood Pressure Medications: Ongoing use of antihypertensive drugs can become a regular and increasing expense over the years, especially as doses are adjusted or additional medications are prescribed.
  - Management of Complications: Other medications may be needed to manage complications like heart disease, kidney issues, and stroke recovery, adding to the overall cost of healthcare.

Indirect Costs: Beyond direct medical expenses, the long-term effects of uncontrolled hypertension can also lead to:
- Lost Wages: Recurrent hospitalizations, frequent doctor visits, and rehabilitation sessions can result in lost workdays and wages.
- Disability Costs: Severe complications, such as heart failure or stroke, can lead to partial or complete disability, affecting the individual’s ability to work and earn a stable income.
- Quality of Life: While not directly a financial cost, the decreased quality of life due to chronic pain, restricted mobility, and other limitations can have a profound emotional and psychological toll, further affecting an individual’s overall well-being.

Comprehensive Risk Assessment for Hypertension…

Personalized Insights, Better Heart Health: Know Your Risk, Take Control!

Personalized Evaluation: Our risk assessment tool considers a variety of factors to assess your risk of developing hypertension:
- Genetic and Family History: Evaluates your family’s health history to identify any genetic predispositions to high blood pressure.
- Lifestyle Factors: Considers dietary habits (e.g., salt and fat intake), physical activity levels, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and stress management.
- Medical History: Reviews conditions such as obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes, and other factors that commonly coexist with hypertension.
- Blood Test Analysis: Analyzes relevant biomarkers, including lipid profiles and blood glucose levels, to create a detailed risk profile.
Algorithm-Based Scoring: Our system uses clinically validated algorithms tailored to the Indian demographic to calculate your hypertension risk score. This score stratifies you into categories (low, moderate, or high risk) and guides your next steps in health management.

Targeted Preventative Actions…

Take Action Today for a Healthier Tomorrow: Personalize, Monitor, Succeed!

Actionable Recommendations: Depending on your risk score, the system offers personalized recommendations to lower your risk:
- Lifestyle Modifications: Detailed suggestions on reducing salt intake, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, managing stress, quitting smoking, and increasing physical activity.
- Regular Monitoring: For those at moderate to high risk, the system suggests regular blood pressure monitoring to track changes and detect any early onset of hypertension.
- Medical Follow-Up: High-risk individuals receive guidance on further medical evaluation, including consultations with healthcare providers to develop a tailored blood pressure management plan.

Continuous Monitoring and Trend Analysis…
