  1. Does anyone know what a diagnosis of HTW means? Elderly patient with COPD, diverticulosis, HBP,
    carotid stenosis, Alzheimer's. Thanks.

    Just a thought.

    Are you sure it's not HTN? This is usually the acronym used for hypertension, not "HBP".

    An N (in HTN) could look like a W ("HTW"😉, when handwritten.

    I'm not sure. The doctor's handwriting is so bad, it could be an N. The hypertension fits,
    though, because she has high blood pressure and the HBP is my acronym for it. You're probably
    right. Thank you.
