Show Notes

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. More South Africans die of CVD than of all the cancers combined2. A common symptom of CAD is angina, yet many people don’t even know what that is. As a result, it is under-recognised and undertreated.
