**Measurements for cardiovascular risk **
Measuring blood pressure is critical, especially for individuals with a significant family history of cardiovascular disease. Conducting a CT angiogram and blood tests measuring LP (a), little a lipids, and APOB are essential to understand the risk factors. Monitoring blood pressure is crucial, with a recommended protocol of three measurements, each taken after five minutes of rest, to obtain an accurate average. Proper positioning, cuff placement, and avoiding stimulants before measurement are essential to ensure accurate readings. Consistency in monitoring can reveal trends and inconsistencies, helping to identify potential risks. Blood pressure readings above 120 over 80 pose long-term risks, and early intervention through lifestyle adjustments is essential to mitigate the need for pharmacological intervention to safeguard the kidneys, brain, and heart.
