                                                Are You at Risk of a Sudden Heart Attack? How Healthy is Your Heart? Really?

                                                Heart disease is the #1 killer in the Western World. In Australia, someone dies every 28 minutes from heart disease. That’s 51 people a day. In the US, someone has a heart attack every 40 SECONDS! Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.

                                                • 94% of Australians have at least One Risk Factor for heart disease.
                                                •  59% of Australians have been Touched by heart disease.
                                                •  Yet only 3% of Australians have had a Full Heart-Health Assessment in the past 12 months.
