High blood pressure is one of the factors that places individuals at an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Other risk factors include:

  • Lack of exercise
  • Poor diet
  • Obesity
  • High Cholesterol
  • Diabetes
  • Smoking
  • A family history of heart attacks, strokes or angina at an early age

By undertaking a comprehensive review of lifestyle, the clinic helps patients with high blood pressure to reduce their risk of developing complications.

Appointments are by invitation. If you have any of the above risk factors and would like to look at ways of reducing that risk, please don't hesitate to make an appointment with a doctor or nurse.
