High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often called the “silent killer” because it rarely causes symptoms until it leads to serious problems like heart disease, stroke, or kidney damage. Regular checks are the only reliable way to detect it early and take preventive steps before complications arise.

Low blood pressure, or hypotension, can also cause issues such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting. Monitoring helps detect abnormal readings and allows early medical intervention.

At HealthHub Clinics, we recommend annual blood pressure checks for healthy individuals and more frequent assessments for those with risk factors like age, stress, obesity, diabetes, or a family history of hypertension.

Valve disorders can arise from various causes, including age-related degeneration, congenital heart defects present from birth, infections like rheumatic fever or endocarditis that damage the valve tissue, or other heart conditions. Over time, an untreated valve problem may worsen and potentially lead to complications like heart enlargement, heart failure, or arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms). Early diagnosis is crucial – catching valve issues early at our cardiology consultation in Dubai allows for timely intervention and better outcomes.

Any issue in the aortic arch can disrupt blood flow to vital organs. Problems here are especially serious because the arch is close to the heart and supplies the brain – meaning that aortic arch disease can lead to complications like stroke, organ damage, or life-threatening bleeding if not managed in time. Understanding the anatomy and function of the aortic arch is the first step in recognizing why specialized care is crucial when something goes wrong in this part of the aorta.
