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. ()r 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 lift., killing or
paralysing in a matter of minutes.
Even though our research has made tremendous
progress over the yt-s'and vastly reduced the incidence
of heart disease and'troke, 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 coricentrate 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
('anada. They've helped to lower the heart and
stroke death raw in Canadians under 65 by
34% in the last twenty-five years. And every
year, because of research, everyone's chance
continues to get Netter.

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.
