• Heart disease is the world’s biggest killer
• The first symptom of heart disease is often heart attack or sudden death
• Around 238,000 people are estimated to die from heart disease annually in the UK (for detailed statistics click here)
• Approximately 1/5 deaths in men and 1/6 deaths in women can be attributed to heart disease

• If heart disease is diagnosed at the earliest possible stages, before symptoms develop, it can be successfully treated and even reversed

• If you have any of the major risk factors you could be at risk of a heart attack and may benefit from Heart-Scan (see below).

      Coronary Calcium

• Coronary calcification is the depositing of calcium in the arteries of the heart

• When these plaques accumulate the arteries become blocked

• The muscles of the heart no longer receive adequate amounts of oxygen

• This results in heart attack
