Create survivors like Heather

At age 39, Heather Evans had two heart attacks in one day, and later learned that she and her seven siblings were genetically at risk of coronary artery disease. Since then, heart disease has ravaged her family, taking the lives of four sisters and one brother. Then in 2018, Heather underwent lifesaving quadruple bypass open heart surgery. 

 

Today, her commitment to healthy living extends to every part of her life: “Heart disease may take my body, but it’s not going to take my spirit.”

Results from a recent Heart and Stroke survey reveal that one in four adults in Canada is affected by the “silent killer” – high blood pressure – which can trigger stroke and heart attack.

In her research, Dr. Nerenberg is zeroing in on pregnancy as an opportunity to assess women’s risk factors and take steps to prevent future heart attacks or stroke.
