The death rate from heart disease and stroke in Canada has decreased by more than 80 percent over the past 75 years, according to a survey of over 1,000 health professionals released by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. PR Newswire Canada also reported on the publication of the survey. [1][2]

Health professionals cited earlier identification and management of medical risk factors as key drivers of the decline, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada reported. The survey also highlighted improved medical treatments and increased public awareness during health emergencies as major factors in saving lives. [1]

Despite significant progress, serious challenges remain for cardiovascular health in the country. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada noted that more than six million Canadians currently live with heart disease or stroke, and these conditions still cause one in five deaths. [1]
