THE National Heart Foundation
has released new data showing
that between 2001 and 2011 the
number of deaths from heart
attacks dropped dramatically from
14,443 in 2001 to 9,811 in 2011.
Heart Foundation CEO Dr Lyn
Roberts said that while the lower
death rate is wonderful news,
“people who have survived a heart
attack are also at high risk of having
another,” with high survival rates
meaning more people are living
with heart damage and disability
after their heart attacks, and urged
ongoing cardiac rehabilitation.
“Many Australian men and
women are missing the message
that treatment for heart attack is
not a cure for heart disease”.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 16 Jul 13 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 16 Jul 13
