BURLINGTON, MA—Dr. Meena Sundaram, MD, who is popularly known as a Bollywood singer in the Indian-American community in New England, is also a heart specialist and will explain new high blood pressure guidelines at the 6th Annual Health, Fitness & Wellness Expo on Sunday at Burlington Marriott Hotel in Burlington, MA.
The new guidelines state that normal blood pressure now is under 120/80 as compared with what was normal under 140/90 in the past. What these new guidelines mean? How these stricter measures will affect the health of your heart? What is the new definition of hypertension? Why should this all matter to you?
