That article is not saying anything. It's well known high blood pressure is unhealthy. Still it doesn't suggest a way to lower it or to raise awareness. High BP is now probably the number one cause of dead in developed countries. Measuring it still uses medieval techniques and units. The causes and fixes are mostly unknown unless one believes dieticians, which change their opinion more often than the wind changes. Sure there are meds, all of them have a lot of side affects, that can't be the way to solve the problem.

Trust me, I know a good number of articles I post don't say a whole lot. On the other hand I just don't know who might find the article informative perhaps due to their youth and not having the plethora of information I have being in my 50's. And an article can lead some to want to look into something further.
But I hear you. I sometimes stare at articles and think, should I post this? I usually do. You should see the ones I don't.

I'm not against you or the articles you post generally. I find many of them interesting. This is just very non informative one.
My rant was not directed at you, more at the healthcare/science/bioinformatics industry + startups
