World Hypertension Day
World Hypertension Day is a reminder of the importance of knowing your blood pressure and understanding your cardiovascular risk.
High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, and it can often develop without obvious symptoms.
Regular blood pressure checks, healthy lifestyle habits and early management can play an important role in supporting long term heart health.
