High blood pressure is common, often has no symptoms, and is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and dementia. Join family physician Dr. Doug Oliver for a free 60-minute webinar to review what blood pressure numbers mean, what has changed in the recent Hypertension Canada guidelines, and how high blood pressure is diagnosed and treated today.
