Managing High Blood Pressure and Cholesterol to Lower Heart Disease Risk
At KidsHeart Medical Center, we help adults understand and manage two of the most common — and controllable — risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol (lipid disorders).
These conditions often develop silently but increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious complications over time. As part of our Adult Cardiology Program, we offer expert evaluation and treatment across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain.
What Are Hypertension and Lipid Disorders?
Hypertension occurs when the pressure of blood against your artery walls remains consistently high — putting strain on your heart and vessels. Lipid disorders refer to unhealthy levels of cholesterol or triglycerides in the blood, which can lead to plaque buildup and narrowing of the arteries. Both conditions often show no symptoms until damage has already occurred — which is why regular checks and early treatment are key.
When Should You Seek Evaluation?
You should get assessed — or re-evaluated — if you:
Have been told your blood pressure is high or borderline
Have high LDL (bad cholesterol) or low HDL (good cholesterol)
Have diabetes, obesity, or a strong family history of heart disease
Experience headaches, chest discomfort, or unusual fatigue
Are over 40 and have not had a recent heart risk assessment
Already take medications for these conditions and need a review
Whether newly diagnosed or needing better control, our team can help.
What to Expect from Our Care
At KidsHeart, we tailor your treatment with a clear, step-by-step plan that may include:

We treat the numbers — and the person behind them.
