Dr. Jaspaul S. Bhangoo | Diagnostic Evaluation: Screening and Assessment

Screening for hypertension begins with accurate blood pressure measurements using validated techniques and properly calibrated equipment. Multiple readings taken on different occasions are necessary to confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of hypertension. Additional evaluations may include assessing target organ damage through tests such as electrocardiography (ECG), echocardiography, and renal function tests to guide treatment decisions and assess overall cardiovascular risk.

 

In internal medicine practice, a thorough evaluation of comorbidities and risk factors is essential to personalize treatment plans as underscored by internists such as Dr. Jaspaul S. Bhangoo. This includes evaluating lifestyle factors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, as well as assessing for concurrent conditions such as diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and chronic kidney disease, which often coexist with hypertension and require integrated management strategies.
