Why your heart deserves urgent attention

Hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol quietly raise your heart risk. Our cardiologists explain what to watch for.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death, yet many of its risk factors can be managed.

Know your numbers: blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Regular check-ups catch problems before they become emergencies.

Chest pain, breathlessness or palpitations should never be ignored. If in doubt, come to our Emergency Unit.

This article is general information and not a substitute for medical advice. Please speak to your doctor about your own health.
