Know Your Blood Pressure to raise awareness of Stroke.
Our next FREE Blood Pressure Check is on:

Our Know Your Blood Pressure campaign helps people to understand the link between high blood pressure and stroke, other risk factors and what they can do to reduce their risk of having a stroke.
What is high blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force that blood puts on the walls of your arteries when it is pumped around your body by your heart. It is measured with two readings – when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when it relaxes (diastolic pressure).
Do you know your blood pressure?
One in seven people in the UK are diagnosed as having high blood pressure. For every 10 people diagnosed with high blood pressure, seven remain undiagnosed and untreated. High blood pressure is the biggest risk factor for stroke that we can control, yet it has no symptoms and can affect people of all ages and lifestyles.
Measuring blood pressure is quick, simple and painless.
Come along to our Know Your Blood Pressure Days
The Rotary Club of Louth holds regular Know Your Blood Pressure Days in several venues around the town. All are welcome to pop along and have their blood pressure taken by trained medical staff.
