Action News 17 Reporter Ken Benitez and Dr. William Kopfler of
North Oaks Cardiology
talk about the importance of blood pressure control to your overall health.

it is without any obvious symptoms until a major problem occurs. If left
untreated, high blood pressure can damage the kidneys and increase the
risk of stroke, heart attack or other heart and blood vessel problems.
