Persistent elevation of blood pressure contributes significantly to cardiovascular diseases such as stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and kidney disease. Early detection and proper management are essential in reducing long-term complications. Advanced practice nurses play a critical role in identifying hypertension through comprehensive health assessments and implementing appropriate treatment strategies. This case study examines a patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of hypertension and explores diagnostic reasoning, treatment planning, and patient education. Abstract Hypertension is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular conditions globally and a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, renal disease, and heart failure. This case study evaluates a middle-aged patient presenting with elevated blood pressure readings and associated symptoms. A comprehensive assessment including patient history, physical examination, diagnostic evaluation, and evidence-based treatment planning was conducted. The case emphasizes the importance of early identification, lifestyle modification, pharmacological management, and long-term monitoring to reduce cardiovascular risk.
