GEORGIA HEART ASSOCIATION
BOOKLET ON HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE STRESSES RECENT
ADVANCES IN TREATMENT
"This is one in a series of high blood pressure articles offered as
a public service by the publisher and the Georgia Heart Associa
tion Committee on Public Education.”
So much has been learned in
recent years about how to treat
high blood pressure that the
outlook for people with hyper
tension is now more favorable
than ever before, the Georgia
Heart Association says. One
measure of this progress: From
1950 to 1962, the death rate from
hypertension (high blood pres
sure) and heart disease associ
ated with it dropped more than
55 percent among women 45 to
64 years old and almost 50 per
eent among men in the same
age bracket.
A booklet entitled “High
Blood Pressure,” available from
Gergia Heart Association, ex
plains what is known about high
blood pressure —a condition
affecting at least 5,000,000
Americans — and stresses how
the patient can help his doctor
treat him more effectively.
The booklet warns against
trying to decide for yourself
whether you have high blood
pressure or not. It also warns
against being overly concerned
about the numbers the doctor
writes down to record the height
of your blood pressure.
More important than the
numbers as such is how well '

installed in the home.
While owned and operated by
The Methodist Church, the nurs
ing center is interdenomina
tional. It will co-operate with
the Georgia Department of Pub
lic Health in its nursing pro
gram.
The center was built through
a Hill-Burton grant of $850,000
and matching funds secured by
Magnolia Manor Foundation. An
■ activities building and worship
center is being constructed
through a special funds crusade
held last spring by South Geor
gia Methodists.
the patient’s heart and arteries
stand up to an elevated blood
pressure. For this reason, the
doctor will want to see patients <
with high blood pressure at reg
ular intervals. Some people,
especially women, seem better ’
able to withstand high blood
pressure than others.
The booklet dispels the com
mon misconception that hyper
tension inevitably leads to a
stroke or blood vessel damage
in the brain. Serious strokes do
occur in a small percentage of
persons with hypertension, but
they also occur in persons with
normal blood pressure.
For the patient with high
blood pressure, it is reassuring
to know that the benefits of
treatment are substantial. Per
haps the treatment prescribed
will require only some modifica
tion of diet. In some cases,
drugs or a combination of drugs
will be prescribed. Less fre
quently, surgery will be sug
gested for some forms of hy
pertension.
