Blood Pressure Hypertension Risk Factors 
Dr. Paddy Barrett
NOVEMBER 29, 2024
“What should my blood pressure be?” The answer is pretty simple, but most people get this wrong, and doing so increases their future risk of heart attack and strokes. The problem is that high blood pressure is not some obscure risk that only impacts a small percentage of the population.

High blood pressure is one of the biggest killers on the planet. As a risk factor, it is responsible for more early deaths than any other risk factor 1. Most people do not know when they have high blood pressure. Managing blood pressure is about getting good data. It is silent.
