Only half of Canadians know their risk factors for heart disease
Description
February 14, 2026
This Valentine's Day, health reporter Katherine Ward bypassed the flowers and chocolates, and spent time looking at matters of the heart from a different perspective — talking with patients whose hearts brought them face to face with an uncertain future and changed the course of their lives forever. Doctors say their stories serve as a critical reminder for all Canadians to proactively manage heart health no matter their age, gender, or medical history.
