A doctor who happened to be hiking led CPR efforts and later performed bypass surgery.

When Baby Sebastian Havill entered the world, he’d already had two surgeries performed on him – one done on the tiny infant’s beating heart while he was still in his mother’s womb.

The man believed to be the world's heaviest was discharged from hospital on Wednesday following potentially life-saving bypass surgery.

For the first time in Canada, a device called a TandemHeart has been used to give a very high-risk cardiac patient a second chance.

Heart failure patients have a better chance of surviving 10 years if they get bypass surgery plus medicine rather than just drugs alone.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is urging Canadians to "cut the crap". The Foundation wants Canadians to go back to basics and cook from scratch at home as often as possible.
