Internal Medicine deals with the whole range of adult healthcare excluding surgery and gynecology
Hypertension
is a new subspeciality of Internal Medicine as designated by American Society of Hypertension with intent to prevent the attendant
complications of heart attack and failure, strokes and kidney failure. This also involves the management of all the associated
risk factors of hypertension.
Public perception of personal health threats is heavily skewed towards cancer rather
than cardiovascular disease. The reality is that 1 death in 29 among women is attributable to breast cancer, while 1 in 2.4
is caused by cardiovascular disease. This means that you are 12 times more likely to die from heart attack, stroke, heart
failure or kidney failure than breast cancer if you are female.
