Heart Attack and Heart Health
Beat the heart attack before it starts - 10,000 people die of heart disease in New Zealand each year and over 3,000 premature deaths from heart disease could be saved with better knowledge of heart disease, pending heart attack symptoms and where to go for help.
Trent Lash, heart patient and founder of the largest community-led, peer-to-peer heart support group in New Zealand, will share with you what a heart attack looks like and why high blood pressure is a major issue. He will explain how heart disease mortality rates are as high as ALL cancers combined, and what help is available in the community and the healthcare sector, for heart patients.
