I suspect the results of this ‘survey’ will be used to pile more pressure on doctors to pile more pressure on patients to take statins.

Load of tosh
Apparently I need to lower my BP except I've just come out of hospital where my BP was monitored daily and they said it was absolutely fine.

86. Heart age 2 years above actual age. Almost certainly because I am overweight. Must do something about that!

87. Heart age 2 years above actually age.

Probably because I have raised cholesterol but do not take statins. The difference they would have made to my risk of a stroke or heart attack was so slight it wasn't worth taking them..

Mine is 47!!!!! I can expect to live another 3 years when I am 78.

If mine is 47, maybe I should be job hunting!

Just did DH's and his heart age is 85 but he can expect to live to 84 before having heart attack or stroke. So does that mean he should already have had one? confused

It tell me I can wait until I am 84 before I will have an episode of heart trouble . Being diabetic does not help or a bit overweight .
