Heart disease is
the second-leading killer of Canadians, after cancer.
However, “heart disease” isn’t a single medical condition
but a broad term used to describe a range of diseases that
affect the heart. One of the most serious forms of heart
disease is known as “acute coronary syndrome” or ACS.
In patients with ACS, a build-up of cholesterol and the
formation of a blood clot in the heart’s arteries suddenly
blocks the supply of blood to the heart. This blockage
leaves the heart with too little oxygen, and can lead to a
broad spectrum of heart conditions, ranging from chest pain
to a heart attack.
The following CARP survey is being conducted to understand
how the impact of ACS affects those over the age of 50 and
how we can best reduce the risk of heart disease and
improve heart health.

Dear CARP Members,
Are
you one of the millions of Canadians who don't have a family
doctor, have had a surgery cancelled, or can't afford
prescription drugs? Are you worried about who will pay for your
parents' - or your own - long-term care?
Whether you believe that medicare serves you well or lets you
down, Canada's doctors want to hear from you.
Should we have pharmacare or support for long-term care? What
are the responsibilities of Canadians with regard to their
health? These questions and others are part of our national
dialogue on health care.
Our
health care system makes a huge difference to our country's
economy and quality of life. But it's in decline, and without
leadership and courage on the part of our governments, it will
continue to crumble until we no longer recognize it.
We've got to get the message across that medicare is too
important to Canadians to lose.
I'm
asking for your help. If you care, the time to speak out is now.
Join the discussion at
www.healthcaretransformation.ca and make
your voice heard.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jeff Turnbull
President, Canadian Medical Association
