Blood Pressure UK is the UK charity dedicated to lowering the nation's blood pressure to prevent disability and death from stroke and heart disease. We work to ensure that high blood pressure is at the top of everyone's health agenda: within the Government, among health professionals, in the media and for every adult in the UK, especially the 16 million people already affected by high blood pressure in the UK.
