PY - 2019 T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - A 40 year-old man presents to his family doctor after getting his blood pressure checked at a local health fair. His blood pressure was measured as 180/100 mm Hg. He has no symptoms or complaints. His blood pressure today was 178/98 mm Hg. Based on these two readings, he is diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension. He has a significant family history of essential hypertension. His examination is normal other than an enlarged and laterally displaced point of maximal impulse on cardiac examination. His body mass index is normal. His physician orders a urinalysis, complete blood count (CBC), fasting lipid profile, and a chemistry panel that includes serum glucose, potassium, creatinine, and calcium. An ECG shows left ventricular hypertrophy (Figure 49-1). He is counseled regarding lifestyle changes, started on two medications, and asked to follow-up within a couple of weeks.
