Eighty percent of heart attacks and strokes are preventable. partially because its key risk factor, high blood pressure, is a ‘silent killer,’ and most patients have no symptoms before their first heart attack or stroke. Yet, CVD remains the leading cause of death in the U.S.,

The answer is pretty simple, but most people get this wrong, and doing so increases their future risk of heart attack and strokes.
