If ever there was a worthy cause, the Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Ontario is it. Whether the heart is
attacked or the brain (stroke), the causes are most often
the same. When the vessels carrying blood to your
heart or brain become too restricted (atherosclerosis)
you can suffer a heart attack or a stroke. Or when a
blood clot lodges in an artery and interferes with the
blood supply to either heart or brain, you can suffer a
heart attack or stroke.
And either can strike in the prime of life, killing or
paralysing in a matter of minutes.
Even though our research has made tremendous
progress over the years and vastly reduced the incidence
of heart disease and stroke, we still have a lot of work
to do: heart disease and stroke are still Canada's major
health problem.
The Heart and Stroke Foundation of
Ontario dollar and all the good it's doing.
We take great care with your donation arid allocate it
very efficiently. Over 237 research teams throughout the
province are funded by the Foundation. Every medical
school and major hospital in Ontario receives support
for research. Many of the projects concentrate on
hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and high
blood pressure. Researchers feel finding a cure or a way
of preventing these two conditions will help reduce the
incidence of heart attacks and stroke.

Every year, every heart and every
brain has a better chance.
No other form of medical research has saved as
many lives as heart and stroke research. The
pacemaker, coronary by-passes, coronary care
units and surgical techniques to correct
congenital heart defects were all developed in
Canada. They've helped to lower the heart and
stroke death rate in Canadians under 65 by
34% in the last twenty-five years. And every
year, because of research, everyone's chance
continues to get better.

Today over 3,000,000 Canadians suffer from
some form of heart or blood vessel disease
which can result in heart attacks or strokes.
And as the population ages, the need for our
research can only grow. We need you to help us
protect your family and friends from heart
disease and stroke. But we can't go any further
without help. Give us more support and we'll
find answers. And it's answers that save
thousands of lives.
