Around one in four people in Knowsley who attend an NHS Health Check at their local GP practice are subsequently found to have an underlying cardiovascular condition.
Issues such as high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, and irregular heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation can often develop without noticeable symptoms, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes if left untreated.
