What is the leading hospital in the U.S. that specializes in the
treatment of high blood pressure?

Hello pavlo-ga:

It is very difficult to find a hospital that can really be called as a
leader on the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). Let me
share my opinion with you and than I will select my top choices.

The most relevant guide to the top hospitals is the US News Guide
Survey that ranks hospitals in 17 categories
ttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/nycu/health/hosptl/tophosp.htm. Since,
hypertension is very closely associated with heart functions;
therefore it is usually taken as granted that the centers and
hospitals that have the best medical care for heart and vascular
disease also have good hypertension care facilities.

The assumption is easily demonstrated by the fact that the top
hospitals in the nation for heart related disease have a separate
department for hypertension.

Examples are 
Mayo Clinic that is NO 2 (division of Hypertension Rochester MINN and
Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, Scottsdale, AZ.
Cleveland Clinic is NO 1 for heart disease (Division of nephrology and
hypertension) http://www.clevelandclinic.org/nephrology/

My humble advice is to review the rankings of heart treatment centers
of the following hospitals and consult them to find the best treatment
center for you. The rankings are located at
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/nycu/health/hosptl/rankings/specihqcard.htm

Now if you ask me, which is the best hospital? I will suggest either
Cleveland Clinic or Mayo Clinic for their immaculate reputation of
cardiovascular and related departments that far exceeds that of any
other institution. (100 and 87 reputation score, respectively). Not
only those but the two hospitals are considered to be the elite
medical facilities in the nation and were granted third and second
spots respectively, in the nationwide rankings by US News (see Roll of
Honor).

Here are some other organizations considered to be the authority in
the education of hypertension.

I got my blood pressure down from 200/100 to 140/70 in 1 month without drugs,
medication or hospitals. If you want I will post how here. Let me know and
kind regards from: Roger

I'd like to know how, Roger.

It's my pleasure IsteniO. I am glad you asked. Firstly I should say
that I am
in my sixties and have been on controlling medication for more more
than a
decade (probably 15 years) Everything was fine I was taking 10mg of
AgonSR
and it kept my hypertension at a reasonable level. Then I had an
exploratory
operation on my bladder and some other "water-works" problems fixed up
with
surgery. About a month after surgery my blood pressure sky-rocketed to
200/100.
I am very much against medications of any sort and desperately wanted
to get
my blood pressure down without medication if possible. Well I did a
simple search on "High Blood Pressure" and found numerous products
and/or services offered for sale. Because I am fortunate not to have
financial problems I purchased every single product and/or service
offered. Every single one of them and tried them all.

One and only product stood out from the rest firstly in its looks and
the way
it was presented then secondly when it arrived it just looked like a
quality
product. Furthermore the info provided made sense to me. This together
with
what appeared to be many genuine testimonials made me decide to really
give
this product a go.  I gave it a real "serious" go, and it has worked
exceptionally well for me.

The product is called "Resperate" and it is a bio-feed-back breathing
machine.
It actually teaches you to modify your breathing (that is taking
longer breaths). I'm am currently in Jamaica Kingston with limited
internet connection
but from memory I think their website is simply called :
www.resperate.com
I have now been using it for almost 12 months with amazing results. I
cannot
speak too highly of the product. I forget now what it cost but it was
certainly worth every penny.

My blood pressure is now the lowest it has ever been in my adult life
140/70
and I was able to firstly reduce my medication from 10MG daily to 5mg
daily.
I then went down to 2.5mg daily. My doctor could not believe it!!
I now do not take or need any medication at all. I should point out
that I have
gradually weaned myself off the medication and I have taken the
breathing exercise very, very seriously. It took only about a week for
the first significant improvements to appear.

So there you go Isterino, I hope you found that to be of interest.
Kind regards from Roger currently travelling in Jamaica
