Hypertension

Overview

Hypertension covers persistently elevated blood pressure — a condition that affects roughly 30% of Indian adults, causes no symptoms until it damages heart, brain, kidneys, or eyes, and is the single largest driver of premature stroke and heart failure in India. Most Indians with hypertension either don't know they have it, know but don't treat consistently, or treat inadequately. Our cardiologists, nephrologists and editorial team explain what your BP numbers actually mean, why home monitoring beats occasional clinic readings, how to interpret white-coat and masked hypertension, which lifestyle changes (salt reduction, weight loss, DASH-style eating, physical activity) genuinely lower BP, and how to work through the common BP medication classes — when a single tablet is enough, when combination therapy is needed, and why stopping BP medication when you feel fine is the exact opposite of what to do.

What Is TAVI? A Minimally Invasive Treatment for Aortic Stenosis

What Is TAVI? A Minimally Invasive Treatment for Aortic Stenosis

Heart valve problems often progress quietly until everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even getting dressed begin to feel exhausting. One such condition is aortic stenosis, where the heart’s main valve becomes narrow and restricts blood flow. For many patients, especially elderly individuals or those with medical risks, open-heart surgery may not always be the safest option. This is where the TAVI procedure has transformed cardiac care.At Manipal Hospital Baner, Pune, advanced heart care now includes TAVI treatment, offering eligible patients a less invasive, life-changing alternative.
