Proud to be part of the Global Cardiovascular Disease Risk Consortium - paper just out on lifetime gain. We found that the two risk factors that impacted lifetime the most, were high blood pressure and smoking.

Without a reliable, affordable supply of their medicines, patients can't stick to their treatment plans. This can have deadly consequences, especially for those living with high blood pressure. On this #WorldAdherenceDay, we encourage ministries of health to make blood pressure-lowering drugs free at the point of care for the more than 1 billion people living with high blood pressure so they can take back control of their lives.

Sometimes we get a piece at @PLOSGPH that is so, so urgent. I live in North Texas, where antivaccine sentiment is everywhere & feels like it's growing as the political climate here intensifies.
Please read & share this important piece by @PeterHotez
