In the United Kingdom, high blood pressure (hypertension) affects about half of the population over 65, and about 1 in 4 middle aged adults.

It is the most important risk leading to heart attacks and stroke. High blood pressure really is a silent killer. Do not wait until someone you know has a heart attack or stroke as the silent time-bomb ticks away....Please help us now to help you.

To improve the basic understanding, assessment, treatment and public awareness of high blood pressure, and, in so doing, help promote the welfare of people with high blood pressure.
