It’s World Heart Day at South Steyne Medical Centre.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) kills 18.6 million people every year and kills more people than cancer, respiratory disease and HIV.

CVD is largely the result of lifestyle factors, which is good news, because these are things that can be controlled in our own lives.

Cardiovascular disease may seem like an insurmountable obstacle or maybe something that seems inevitable. However, by taking proactive measures in your health sooner you can greatly reduce your risk of CVD.
