Deborah Mark
high blood pressure patient
“
People say driving a truck is dangerous. What about high blood pressure?”
Truck driver Deborah Mark's high blood pressure was out of control and it got her in trouble. A few years ago she blacked out at a rest stop in Ohio. She came to in an ambulance, getting the emergency treatment that saved her life. Today, Deborah takes her high blood pressure seriously, but she is an exception. One in three American adults has high blood pressure and many of them don't manage it properly. That's why Novartis is developing new treatments and providing programs that help doctors and patients manage the disease.
