A KEY message of Heart Week
this year (04-10 May) will be to
encourage pharmacists to educate
their patients about the warning
signs of heart attack.
Heart Foundation’s National ceo
Mary Barry said each year almost
10,000 Aussies die of a heart attack.
“This year we’re asking health
professionals to help us save lives
by educating patients about the
warning signs of heart attack and
how to reduce their risk of having
one,” Barry said, adding that more
than one million Australians aged
30 to 65 are at high risk of having a
heart attack or stroke.
“We’re asking health professionals
to order a Heart Week kit that
includes posters and balloons for
display as well as fact sheets and
wallet cards that can be distributed
to patients.”
