This month is Healthe Heart Month, recognising one of the most common health concerns for Australians. Here are some facts:

❤️ 1 in 6 Australians suffer from Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
❤️ 1 in 4 deaths are a result of CVD with around 120 people dying each day
❤️ Men are 40% more likely than women to die from CVD
❤️ Lower socio-economic, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and people living in regional and remote areas have higher rates of CVD death than other Australians

Thankfully, the number of deaths from CVD have decreased over the past 10 years, but there's still more we can do.

At Lingard Private we offer a range of Cardiac Services close to home, including Healthe Heart testing, a Cardiac Catheterisation Lab, Coronary Care Ward, Cardiothoracic Surgery and Cardiac Rehabilitation - learn more at lingardprivate.com.au/specialties/heart-centre

❤️ Check out the image for some ideas on living a healthier lifestyle, and make sure you're checking in regularly with your GP, particularly if you're at risk of heart disease: heartfoundation.org.au/your-heart/are-you-at-risk-of-heart-disease

At 11am on 11/11 we pause for a moment and reflect on those who have gone before us, paying the ultimate sacrifice to protect our way of life.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.
