Cardiovascular Risk & Hypertension Management

Heart Health Starts with Prevention Comprehensive Cardiovascular Risk Management in Dubai

Heart disease doesn’t usually happen overnight. It often builds silently over many years, driven by risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, family history, and lifestyle habits.

Dr. Jadeer Akkapparambil, an experienced Internal Medicine Specialist in Dubai, focuses on early detection, careful monitoring, and long-term management of these cardiovascular risk factors helping patients reduce their chances of heart attack, stroke, and other serious complications.

For many patients, proactive management of hypertension and heart risks is one of the most important investments in lifelong health.

Why Cardiovascular Risk Management Is Critical:

  • Heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, including in the UAE.
  • Many risk factors are silent — without obvious symptoms until major events occur.
  • Early detection and active prevention can significantly reduce heart attack, stroke, and long-term disability.

Common Conditions Managed:

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

  • Often called the “silent killer” because it rarely causes symptoms at first.
  • If uncontrolled, can damage arteries, heart muscle, kidneys, brain, and eyes.
  • Dr. Jadeer offers:

      • Accurate diagnosis (ambulatory BP monitoring if needed)
      • Careful medication selection based on individual needs
      • Lifestyle advice to reduce medication dependence
      • Monitoring for possible secondary causes

High Cholesterol & Lipid Disorders

  • Elevated cholesterol can quietly build plaque inside arteries.
  • Dr. Jadeer provides:

    • Full lipid profile analysis
    • Cardiovascular risk scoring (combining multiple risk factors)
    • Evidence-based medication management (statins & alternatives)
    • Nutrition and lifestyle coaching for long-term lipid control

Metabolic Syndrome

Many patients have a cluster of risk factors including:

  • Abdominal obesity
  • Elevated blood sugar
  • High triglycerides
  • Low HDL (“good cholesterol”)
  • High blood pressure

Metabolic Syndrome greatly increases cardiovascular risk but coordinated management can reverse much of this risk.

Stroke Risk Evaluation

  • Preventive screening for patients with family history, smoking history, or multiple risk factors.
  • Coordination with neurologists when needed for high-risk patients.
  • Close control of blood pressure, lipids, and glucose to minimize stroke risk.

The Comprehensive Approach:

Unlike isolated care models, Internal Medicine connects all the dots managing multiple risk factors under one physician’s care ensures nothing gets overlooked.

Dr. Jadeer’s approach includes:

  •  In-depth initial cardiovascular risk evaluation
  • Regular monitoring of key risk markers
  • Medication adjustments based on ongoing lab trends
  • Lifestyle counseling tailored to each patient’s readiness and goals
  • Coordinated referrals for cardiac imaging or cardiology consultation when necessary

“Prevention is always better than cure. My goal is to identify risk early, guide patients toward realistic lifestyle improvements, and use medications wisely to protect long-term heart and brain health.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Hypertension is diagnosed through repeated, accurately measured blood pressure readings. If needed, ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure monitoring may be arranged for more precise assessment.

Not always. For some patients, lifestyle changes may be enough, especially in early stages. However, when medications are needed, they are carefully chosen and adjusted for safety and effectiveness.

For most adults, annual lipid profile testing is recommended, especially if you have other risk factors. Frequency may increase if levels are borderline or rising.

Yes especially if you have multiple risk factors. Early evaluation allows you to make changes before problems develop, reducing long-term risks.
