Heart disease remains the second highest cause of death of Canadians, behind cancer. About 63,000 Canadians have heart attacks every year. Dr. Beth Abramson is a Toronto cardiologist and the director of the Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation Centre at St. Michael’s Hospital. She argues that recent advances in cardiology are changing the way we understand life after heart attacks. Statins, pills of concentrated fish oil and COVID’s effect on the heart round out her conversation with our guest host, Dr. Peter Nord, chief medical director of Medcan.
