High Blood Pressure

Understanding Your Numbers and Protecting Your Heart Early

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is one of the most common and silent risk factors for heart disease.

Many people feel completely fine and are surprised to learn their blood pressure is elevated. Over time, however, uncontrolled blood pressure can quietly strain the heart, damage blood vessels, and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.

At CoCardio™, we help individuals understand what their blood pressure means, identify contributing factors, and take prevention-first steps to protect long-term heart health.

What Is High Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure measures the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. It is recorded as two numbers:

When blood pressure stays elevated over time, it forces the heart to work harder and can gradually damage arteries and organs.

Understanding Blood Pressure Ranges

Blood pressure is typically categorized as follows:

Normal:

Elevated:

High Blood Pressure (Stage 1):

High Blood Pressure (Stage 2):

Blood pressure is not just a number. It reflects how hard your heart and arteries are working every day.

Why Blood Pressure Matters for Prevention

High blood pressure often develops quietly and can lead to:

The earlier elevated blood pressure is addressed, the more opportunity there is to reduce strain and prevent long-term damage.

How CoCardio™ Helps With High Blood Pressure

Once urgent issues are ruled out, CoCardio™ focuses on clarity, root contributors, and prevention-focused support.

We help individuals:

Understand how blood pressure affects heart structure and function
Evaluate heart pumping strength and circulation
Identify contributing factors such as stress, sleep, weight, insulin resistance, and vascular stiffness
Reduce fear by explaining results in clear, plain language
Build a personalized, prevention-first plan

Our role is not to replace treatment, but to help you understand and protect your heart over time.

Heart Function Testing and Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can change how the heart works long before symptoms appear.

Heart Function Testing, also known as an echocardiogram, allows us to:

This non-invasive test helps answer an important question:
How is your heart responding to elevated blood pressure today?

CoCardio Boost™ (ECP) and Blood Pressure Support

For appropriate candidates, CoCardio Boost™ (External Counterpulsation) may be considered as a non-invasive circulation-supportive option.

ECP has been studied for its ability to:

While CoCardio Boost™ is not a substitute for blood pressure management, it may help support circulation and heart performance as part of a broader prevention-focused plan.

Candidacy is determined carefully through consultation and heart imaging.

A Prevention-First, Consultation-Based Approach

Through a Root Cause Consultation, we help you:

This ensures care is personalized, thoughtful, and responsible.

In urgent situations, immediate medical care is essential.

Adjunct to Standard Medical Care

CoCardio™ does not replace primary care or cardiology care and does not establish a doctor-patient relationship.

Our consultations, heart function testing, and CoCardio Boost™ services are educational and supportive, designed to complement care provided by your physician.

Many individuals share their results with their healthcare providers as part of a coordinated approach.

From Numbers to Prevention

Blood pressure numbers are signals, not labels.

At CoCardio™, we help you understand what those numbers mean, assess how your heart is responding, and take proactive steps to protect your future.
