“The Rush University Hypertension Center has been a nationwide leader in the treatment of hypertension, providing care for the region’s most difficult-to-treat hypertensive patients.”(2006, August, RUSH PHYSICIAN) Physicians in the department see thousands of patients each year. These patients typically are at high risk for cardiovascular disease or have had difficulty controlling blood pressure, and are usually seeking a second or third opinion. The center offers special expertise in the care of patients with secondary hypertension--that is, high blood pressure due to a specific cause, like a blocked renal artery or a tumor--and people with diabetes and/or chronic kidney disease. If you would like further information about the Hypertension Center or would like to make an appointment please call (312) 942-3133.
