High Blood Pressure: The Silent Killer - with Dr. Jaspal Gill, Cardiologist and Clinical Research Fellow at the University of London

High blood pressure affects nearly half of all U.S. adults, yet most people don’t know they have it. In this short episode, we unpack what blood pressure really is, what causes it to rise, and why it's often called the "silent killer." 

Host Dr. Jason Arora and cardiologist Dr. Jaspal Gill walk us through what’s happening inside the body, how to measure it properly, and how to catch the early signs before it leads to something more dangerous.

In this special 4-part series on heart diseases, we're going to give you something that's getting harder and harder to come by: time with a cardiologist. 

Access to medical care is a growing challenge—especially when it comes to specialists. In the U.S. today, a single cardiologist may be responsible for thousands of patients, and nearly half of all U.S. counties don’t even have one. 

We’re joined by Dr. Jaspal Gill, Cardiologist and Clinical Research Fellow at the University of London, to break down the fundamentals of the most common—and most critical—heart conditions: high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, and arrhythmia.
