Lower blood pressure slows the progression of coronary artery disease

New research has shown that if you can keep your blood pressure lower than 120/80 then the rate of progression of coronary artery disease can be slowed down.

This is great news for those with angina or for those who have suffered heart attack - but, be aware - getting your blood pressure to these low levels is never easy.

Keep trying - a lower blood pressure may well save your life
