He has no complaints. His blood pressure today was 178/98 mm Hg. Based on these two readings, he is diagnosed with stage 2 hypertension. His family history is very positive for essential hypertension. His examination is normal other than an enlarged and laterally displaced point of maximal impulse. His body mass index is normal. The provider sends him for a urinalysis, complete blood count (CBC), fasting lipid profile, and a chemistry panel that includes blood glucose, potassium, serum creatinine, and calcium. An ECG shows left ventricular hypertrophy (Figure 47-1). He is counseled regarding lifestyle change, started on 2 medications, and asked to follow-up within a couple of weeks.
