New report from British Heart Foundation 'sobering'
A Manx charity has described a new report from the British Heart Foundation, which shows people are 'severely underestimating the scale and seriousness' of coronary heart disease as 'sobering'.
It also shows the disease is not always seen as a woman’s problem despite being twice as likely to die of coronary heart disease as breast cancer.
John Bourbon, Chairman of the Manx Heart Foundation, says it's a common misconception:
Isle of Man economy contracts for second year
Figures show two consecutive years of real-terms GDP decline, raising questions over economic slump
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
So what needs to happen to regenerate Peel's high street?
Job Centre unable to reliably identify duplicate vacancies
Minister says generic listings can make duplication difficult to identify
Airport warns high winds could impact flights
Passengers urged to allow extra time for travel
