Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of premature death in England.

You will usually be offered a ‘clinic’ test first, to gauge what sort of region your blood pressure is in. This only takes a couple of minutes and so depending upon the result we may then offer a 24 hour blood pressure check. This is the gold standard for diagnosis and will automatically take many readings over 24 hours to give a fuller picture of what your normal blood pressure profile looks like. In either case we will help interpret the results and advise on ways in which you can keep a healthy blood pressure; with your consent we also share the results with your GP.
