Blood pressure in Hammersmith and Fulham.

Hammersmith and Fulham local authority · 2 cards

Diagnosed high blood pressure on GP registers in Hammersmith and Fulham — plus the thousands living with it unknown.

Plain-English context

High blood pressure (hypertension) rarely has symptoms but drives heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease. About 26,554 Hammersmith and Fulham GP patients have it diagnosed, and modelling suggests roughly 11,569 more adults have it without knowing. Register figures are not age-adjusted — and a lower register number can mean under-diagnosis, not better health. A free pharmacy or GP check takes minutes.
