Clinical review pending
Miami Lakes is one of our closest neighbor cities — 10-15 minutes via the Palmetto Expressway. We see many Miami Lakes families for primary care, pediatric visits, and bilingual follow-up care. High blood pressure (hypertension; ICD-10 I10) means pressure in the arteries remains elevated over time. The 2025 AHA/ACC guideline replaced the 2017 guideline. Normal pressure is below 120 systolic and below 80 diastolic; Stage 1 is 130–139 systolic or 80–89 diastolic, and Stage 2 is at least 140 systolic or at least 90 diastolic. Use the higher category when the two numbers differ. CDC describes hypertension as affecting nearly half of U.S. adults. Diagnosis and treatment decisions use repeated readings, cardiovascular risk and the overall clinical picture. Bring home readings, medicines and prior results to discuss an individualized assessment and follow-up plan. Patients from neighborhoods like Royal Oaks, Lake Sarah, Loch Lomond reach our Doral clinic in about 12 minutes — close to landmarks including Main Street Miami Lakes and Don Shula's Hotel.
