You can get your BP checked at a local pharmacy or measure it at home with a certified monitor. To learn more, download CVFP’s ‘My BP Screening Guide’ at cvfp.com, Community, link ➡️ https://www.cvfp.com/blog/hypertension-project.

February is and our Health Team is shining a light on what you can do to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. Making healthy lifestyle choices, including quitting smoking, eating a healthy and balanced diet, getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels can have an impact on your heart health.

Beyond healthy choices, cardiovascular disease is also influenced by biological and other risk factors. CVFP supports research that promotes an understanding of heart conditions and helps guide the development of new treatments and prevention approaches.
