Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects one in five Canadians and is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Although medications are available to control high blood pressure, researchers still don’t fully understand what causes it.
Join Robarts Research Institute scientist Dr. Rob Gros as he shares the latest research on hypertension and how it affects you in the final lecture of the Classes Without Quizzes series. The event will be held today (May 12) at 7:30 p.m. at the Bob Hayward YMCA at 1050 Hamilton Road.
