INTERVIEW: ANGINA AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
Dr Alfonso JK Pecoraro, Cardiologist and Executive of SA Heart Association
In South Africa, cardiovascular disease (CVD) which includes coronary artery disease (CAD), is the leading cause of death after HIV/Aids2, and the most frequent cause of death worldwide today.1.

As a result, it is under-recognised and undertreated.
