To coincide with the British and Irish Hypertension Society's Annual Meeting, which will be taking place from 16th - 18th September in Birmingham, the Editors of the Journal of Human Hypertension have pulled together a collection of articles, which focus on the theme of cardiovascular risk. We hope that this collection of articles will add to an in depth discussion of the topic and the field of hypertension as a whole and may provide some arguments to fuel the discussion further. Papers are free to view for 6 weeks.
