HEART HEALTH

May 24 / 2018 |

Approximately 2.4 million Canadians have heart disease.

Heart disease generally means the heart is not working properly. Ischemic (or coronary) heart disease is the most common type, which refers to the narrowing of the heart’s arteries by a build-up of plaque. This restricts blood and oxygen throughout the body and can lead to a heart attack.
