Discussion

Hypertension and Atherosclerosis Susan is 59 years old. She is very active within her community, volunteering regularly at her church and local hospital. She has noticed that she is weak and short of breath. She has had some minor chest and leg pain, along with headaches. Admittedly, she is 20 pounds overweight. Her physician (which is you) has diagnosed her with hypertension and some atherosclerosis. She does not understand her diagnosis and why these problems are happening to her at this time. As her physician, what would you tell her about her diagnosis? What would her treatment include (i.e. medication, lifestyle changes or is the diagnosis hereditary)? Can the diseases be eradicated or controlled?
