Most English people with high blood pressure don't know they have it
A study found 59% of people with high blood pressure in England are undiagnosed, and only half of those being treated have it under control. This raises risk of stroke, heart attack, and early death.
Why it matters: Uncontrolled high blood pressure significantly increases risk of stroke, heart attack, and early death.
Keep in mind: The study reports prevalence in England but does not establish causes of underdiagnosis or test any intervention.
