A national devastation
Every month, 5,500 Canadians die from heart disease and stroke, devastating families and loved ones.
New threats due to COVID-19
COVID-19 makes people living with heart disease and stroke much more vulnerable to health risks. Alarmingly, mounting evidence shows COVID-19 can damage otherwise healthy hearts and brains — making the need for research significantly more urgent.
Saving lives starts with research
Every month, 750 top researchers funded by Heart & Stroke are edging closer to big breakthroughs that will save lives in Canada.
