Blood Pressure After 40

A blood pressure reading is easier to discuss when the measurement and its context are clear. Blood Pressure After 40 explains the practical steps behind home monitoring and the everyday food, movement, and medicine questions to take to your healthcare team.

Work through equipment and technique, learn what a record can tell you, and use the planning tools to make care instructions easier to follow. The guide explains differences between US and UK guidance and leaves personal targets and treatment decisions with your clinician.
