🩺Monday's Medical Video 🩺 What Happens To Our Blood Pressure As We Age?
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

Aging, blood pressure. Our Blood pressure changes as we get older. Unfortunately, doctors now care more about following guidelines and less about treating the individual. There is something inherently illogical about treating a 90-year-old with a BP of 150/90 in the same way as a 20-year-old with a BP of 150/90. The benefits are less and the risk of harm is greater. Here Doctor Gupta, of York Cardiology explains how our BP changes as we get older.
