The interactive panel discussion will address people’s priorities and concerns for living with high blood pressure and takes just after World Hypertension Day on May 17.
“Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of heart disease and stroke,” said Dr Lisa Hynes, Croí’s Head of Health Programmes.
“It’s startling to know that Ireland has one of the highest rates of high blood pressure internationally, but among the lowest levels of diagnosis, treatment and control of the condition. Join us and connect with the experts at this free Croí webinar.”
