Blood pressure readings are important.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of disability and death among Americans.
High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of heart disease. People with high blood pressure are at greater risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and even death. 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure, but many are unaware or under treated because there are no real signs or symptoms.
That’s why it’s important to get your blood pressure checked.
