"Where you live in the UK has a dramatic effect on your chances of dying early from heart disease. In some local authorities, people living in one ward can be five times as likely to die from heart disease as those living just half a mile away. We are devoting a major new £9 million programme to tackling these inequalities in heart disease, giving those born into these areas a greater chance of living to see their grandchildren grow up, and better support if they do develop heart disease" - British Heart FoundationThis is the blog for CARG, the Coronary Artery Rehabilitation Group, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It will contain items of interest to CARG's own members and anybody else interested in the latest news about rehabilitation and heart-related matters.
