IMPROVING YOUR ODDS AGAINST CANADA'S #1 KILLER. [he grim reality. Heart disease and stroke kill as many Canadians as all other diseases combined. Heart Disease and Stroke 47% 24% 9% 6e/0 14% 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.

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. All CV diseases down Heart attack down Stroke down Rheumatic heart disease down High blood pressure down 34% 25% 47% 85% 87% Cardiovascular death rate (under 65 years of age) since 1955. 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.
