'Four million Brits at risk of heart attack and stroke – but they don’t have a clue'
But the pressure and risk can be lowered though a combination of healthier diet, more exercise and medication.
The BHF estimates that slightly over a quarter of adults in the UK, around 14.4million people, have high blood pressure.Simon Gillespie, Chief Executive of the BHF, said: “Getting your blood pressure under control is one of the most important things you can do to reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
“These figures show that millions of adults of all ages are living with untreated high blood pressure – a ticking time bomb that puts their future health in jeopardy. “Having your blood pressure checked takes less than five minutes, but it is all too easy to put it on the back burner in our hectic day to day lives.But if untreated, it can be life-threatening.The higher number is systolic pressure, or the force at which your heart pumps blood around your body.
