Over 20% of UK adults have hypertension
Hypertension puts blood vessels under constant stress and damages the artery walls, making them weaker. This makes it more likely to develop clots due to poor blood flow. It can also damage arteries to the point of bursting or tearing, which can lead to internal bleeding.

Clinical validation is a formal study comparing the accuracy of a blood pressure monitor relative to the measurement of a clinical observer using a mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope on a patient.
Clinical validation is comprised of a three major components:
30 minutes before you take your measurement, do not exercise, do not drink coffee, caffeinated drink, or alcohol, and do not smoke. Sit quietly for 5-10 minutes to relax.
An irregular heart rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 15% less or 15% more than the average sinus rhythm detected during blood pressure measurement.
Atrial fibrillation has received clinical validation via a peer reviewed journal.
