In honour of World Heart Day, which was marked yesterday, the 29th of September, we’re dedicating our Medical Matters today to Heart disease. Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, affecting millions of people each year. On tonight’s show we will explore the importance of heart health, discuss ways to prevent heart disease, and highlight the steps you can take to protect your heart. Have you experienced health problems related to your heart? Or anyone who has heart disease? Join me and my guest, Prof Pamela Naidoo, CEO of The Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa for this discussion.
