Do you know what your risk of having a heart attack or stroke is? 
Having a regular Heart Health Check with your GP will help you better understand your risk of a heart attack or stroke.  

Most importantly, your GP and nurse can support you to lower this risk.  A Heart Health Check is a 20-minute check-up with your GP to assess your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
